JACC Podcast

Each week, Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, MACC, records free podcasts highlighting journal findings. To keep clinicians updated on the most important science emerging in clinical and translational cardiology, Dr. Fuster provides an overview of the weekly edition from the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), as well as a short summary of each manuscript. Encompassing JACC and nine cardiovascular specialty journals, the JACC family of journals rank among the top cardiovascular peer-reviewed journals in the world for scientific impact.

    From Hokkaido to ACC: NT-proBNP Screening for Pre-Heart Failure in Rural Japan | JACC Baran

    Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, and Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, welcome Yuichiro Mori, MD, MPH, a physician-scientist at Kyoto University, to discuss his ACC.25 poster presentation on biomarker-based pre-heart failure screening using NT-proBNP, conducted in a rural Japanese city in Hokkaido. Drawing from a screening cohort of 1,585 individuals aged 40–74 in Furano, the study integrated NT-proBNP testing into Japan’s routine general health checkups. Dr. Mori shares key takeaways from the study and emphasizes how even single-site efforts, when well-structured and strategically communicated, can gain recognition at major global meetings like ACC.

    JACC Editor's Page: April 22, 2025 | JACC

    Listen to the editor's page of the April 14th JACC issue for a discussion about the staggering toll of cardiovascular disease on Black Americans, revealing nearly 800,000 excess deaths and 23.7 million years of potential life lost over two decades. Join Editor-in-Chief Harlan Krumholz as he explores the systemic roots of these disparities and calls for urgent, collective action to turn data into justice.

    5-Year Outcomes After Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Low-Risk Patients With Aortic Stenosis | JACC

    In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews a pivotal study comparing the five-year outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. The study found that both treatments yielded similar mortality and stroke rates, reinforcing TAVR’s non-inferiority to surgery, though long-term outcomes in younger patients and the impact of pacemaker implantation remain areas of concern.

    April 22, 2025 Issue Summary | JACC

    In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews groundbreaking studies from the April 22, 2025 issue of JACC, covering key findings in valve replacement, pregnancy-related cardiovascular risk, and post-MI therapy. Plus, two cutting-edge reviews explore atrial fibrillation ablation and conduction disturbances after transcatheter valve procedures.

    Conduction Disturbances After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: An Update on Epidemiology, Preventive Strategies, and Management | JACC

    In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster presents a comprehensive review of conduction disturbances following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), highlighting key factors that contribute to the need for permanent pacemaker implantation. The discussion covers current management strategies, risks, and future perspectives, emphasizing the need for improved prediction methods and the evolving role of ambulatory monitoring and physiological pacing techniques.

    Early Ezetimibe Initiation After Myocardial Infarction Protects Against Later Cardiovascular Outcomes in the SWEDEHEART Registry | JACC

    In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a pivotal study on the benefits of early acetamide initiation combined with statins after a myocardial infarction, showing improved cardiovascular outcomes. The study’s findings suggest that early combination therapy reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events, urging healthcare pathways to adopt this approach as standard practice for better patient outcomes.

    Impact of Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation on Disease Progression | JACC

    In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews the impact of catheter ablation on atrial fibrillation progression, summarizing a state-of-the-art article published in JACC. It explores how catheter ablation modifies the disease's mechanisms, reduces progression to persistent atrial fibrillation, and improves cardiovascular outcomes, suggesting that earlier intervention leads to better long-term results.

    Pre-Pregnancy Adiposity, Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Midlife | JACC

    In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study on pre-pregnancy obesity and its long-term effects on pregnancy outcomes and cardiovascular health later in life. The research highlights how pre-pregnancy obesity and overweight increase the risk of gestational diabetes, hypertension, and future cardiovascular disease, underscoring the need for early weight management and more research on treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists.
