    February 10, 2026: Amyloidosis in Focus: Diagnosis Delays, Early Treatment, and What Clinicians Must Know | JACC This Week

    In this episode of JACC This Week, Dr. Harlan M. Krumholz and Dr. Carolyn S.P. Lam discuss a dedicated issue of JACC focused on cardiac amyloidosis—one of the fastest-evolving areas in cardiovascular medicine. They explore new evidence highlighting significant delays in diagnosing ATTR cardiomyopathy, the early divergence of mortality benefit with timely treatment, and why time to diagnosis is no longer a neutral factor. The conversation also examines secondary analyses from major clinical trials, practical guidance for amyloidosis evaluation and management, and Dr. Krumholz's Editor's Page on "computable diagnosis" as a moral imperative. This episode places emerging science in clinical context, emphasizing urgency, equity, and how clinicians should be thinking differently about diagnosis, staging, and access to therapy in amyloid heart disease.

    February 3, 2026: A New Season of JACC This Week: Valve Disease, Editorial Vision, and Engaging the Global Cardiology Community | JACC This Week

    Welcome to the new season of JACC This Week! In this episode, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Harlan Krumholz is joined by co-host Dr. Carolyn Lam to kick off a refreshed, more conversational era of the podcast. Together, they reflect on the evolution of the show, approach to thematic curation, and introduce the February 3 issue of JACC, curated around valve heart disease. The discussion explores JACC's approach to thematic issues, the importance of timely publication, and how emerging evidence is shifting valvular heart disease management toward lifetime decision-making and patient-centered outcomes. Highlights include insights into aortic stenosis and regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, global perspectives on valve care, and what clinicians should be watching as transcatheter therapies continue to evolve. Dr. Krumholz also shares the thinking behind his Editor's Page on scientific writing—specifically, how a strong introduction earns the reader's trust—offering practical guidance for researchers at all stages. The episode sets the tone for a new season focused on rigor, relevance, global inclusion, and meaningful dialogue with the cardiovascular community.

    November 25, 2025: Clonal Hematopoiesis, Alcohol and Blood Pressure, Long-Term Risk, and Emerging Biomarkers | JACC This Week

    JACC's November 25, 2025 issue kicks off Thanksgiving week with JACC Editor-in-Chief Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, SM, reflecting on his editor's page and the day he became a doctor (0:12).  For original research articles, he discusses a study on colchicine & clonal hematopoiesis, an exploratory study of the LoDoCo2 trial (1:10), and a paired editorial comment with more perspectives and a reminder of the upcoming COLCOT trial (4:33). Next, a study on Lp(a) and IL-6 (4:54) and an editorial (6:12), 30-year CVD risk percentiles based on the PREVENT equations (6:30), and an accompanying editorial from JACC Deputy Editor Erica Spatz, MD, on next-generation strategies to encourage healthier behaviors (7:35).  Other studies and editorials include a fascinating look at alcohol and blood pressure (8:04) and reinforcing the WHO public health guidance (10:05); remnant cholesterol in young adults (10:38) and implications for cholesterol guidelines (12:36). We also include four brief reports on RSV vaccine (13:11), long Covid (13:43), Lp(a) levels (14:06), the predictive power of polygenic risk scores (14:58), a viewpoint on US veterans (15:36), and our regular Amara Yad image (15:53), which we're delighted to be able to continue to promote with JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology Editor-in-Chief Kalyanam Shivkumar, MD.

    November 18, 2025: Adiposity, Heart Failure, and the Future of Cardiometabolic Care | JACC This Week

    In the November 18, 2025 issue of JACC, Editor-in-Chief Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, SM, FACC, uses his editor's page to reflect on the evolving role of editors as partners with authors in strengthening cardiovascular science. The issue itself centers on adiposity, featuring multiple pooled analyses showing that waist-to-height ratio and waist circumference outperform BMI in predicting heart failure and mortality risk. Other highlights include a meta-analysis confirming GLP-1 receptor agonists' broad cardiovascular benefits, new insights into obesity's impact on biomarkers and disease interpretation, and several pieces, including state of the art reviews and viewpoints, on obesity-related conditions. Our issue focus on adiposity as a central driver of cardiometabolic disease shows the need for tailored, collaborative approaches to patient care and research. #stride #adipokinehypothesis

    November 11, 2025: Precision, Place, and the Future of Cardiovascular Prediction | JACC This Week

    In this week's JACC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Harlan Krumholz explores how context, precision, and physiology converge to shape modern cardiovascular care. He opens with an editorial on "The Geography Gap," challenging the one-size-fits-all approach to cardiovascular risk models that ignore geographic variation in disease outcomes. Other featured studies in this issue include trials (OCEAN Mitral, PULSE), optimizing outcomes after transcatheter mitral repair, plus uncovering genetic links between placental malperfusion and congenital heart disease, evaluating CT angiography follow-up after left main PCI, and refining emergency triage with high-sensitivity troponin testing. Dr. Krumholz also speaks to editorials in this issue providing insight on the accompanying JACC articles, and a HeartBeat submission, with a reflection on balance and compassion in pediatric cardiology. Finally, he touches on our other JACC journal content, including new findings on blood groups and COVID-19 cardiovascular outcomes, and the first JACC: Basic to Translational Science Editor's page from the new editor-in-chief, Matthias Nahrendorf, MD, PhD, on the evolving landscape of translational science. This week in JACC highlights cardiology's movement toward more localized, integrated, and human-centered precision medicine.

    In this special episode of JACC This Week, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Harlan Krumholz introduces the November 4, 2025 issue, entirely devoted to hypertension and the landmark 2025 HAC Multi-Society High Blood Pressure Guideline. He discusses key updates—from reaffirming lower blood pressure targets and expanding out-of-office monitoring to integrating hypertension within the cardio-kidney-metabolic framework. Dr. Krumholz highlights expert commentaries covering policy, technology, therapeutics, and prevention, emphasizing how this forward-looking issue aims to move beyond publication toward true implementation. The episode calls for a cultural shift—making uncontrolled hypertension a "never event" through better systems, teamwork, and innovation.

    October 28.2025: How Low Should We Go? | JACC This Week

    Dr. Harlan Krumholz introduces a JACC issue unified around the question of how low to target blood pressure, highlighting growing evidence that aiming near 120 mm Hg improves cardiovascular outcomes without harming quality of life. Several studies from the STEP and ESPRIT trials show that intensive blood pressure control widens retinal arterioles, lowers stroke risk, enhances well-being, and remains safe even in older adults. Long-term follow-up data demonstrate that early initiation of intensive therapy provides lasting cardiovascular protection, while new analyses using the PREVENT equations confirm that higher-risk patients gain the most absolute benefit. The issue underscores that intensive control is both safe and effective, and that the next challenge is implementing these proven strategies consistently in clinical practice.
