JACC This Week

Dhruv Kazi, MBBS, MS, FACC, and first author Mohammed Essa, MD, discuss their newly published JACC Brief Report presented at ACC.25 on cardiac rehabilitation following myocardial infarction, with a focus on patients who experience cardiogenic shock. JACC: Associate Editor Jason H. Wasfy, MD, MPhil, FACC, asks questions to explore the significant underutilization of cardiac rehab, the impact of social determinants of health, and potential policy changes to improve access and outcomes. Join the conversation as they highlight key findings and the need for innovative solutions in cardiovascular care.

Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, Shun Kohsaka, MD, FACC, and Makoto Mori, MD (Associate Editor) welcome Dr. Tsuyoshi Kaneko, MD, a cardiovascular surgeon, to discuss the impact of federal funding cuts at Columbia University and findings from a large-scale STS database study on bioprosthetic vs. mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients aged 40-75 years. Dr. Kaneko provides a surgical perspective on risk-adjusted comparisons, data linkage challenges, and potential biases, while also sharing insights on publishing in JACC and essential writing tips for Japanese researchers.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster summarizes the March 25, 2025, issue of the JACC, which focuses on advancements in electrophysiology. Highlights include groundbreaking studies on leadless pacemakers, atrial fibrillation treatments, and appropriate use criteria for cardiac devices, with key papers exploring the safety of pacemaker retrieval, the role of electrograms in ablation procedures, and long-term outcomes for left atrial appendage occlusion devices.

Listen to the editor's page of the March 25th JACC issue, in which Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, SM, FACC, highlights how cardiac electrophysiology is undergoing significant transformation driven by technological advancements and evolving treatment strategies. Key topics include long-term insights from the AMPLATZER Amulet trial, the role of intracardiac electrograms in ventricular tachycardia ablation, and shifting anticoagulation strategies in atrial fibrillation. The issue also emphasizes the growing role of device-based therapies, such as leadless pacemakers, and explores the intersection of electrophysiology with structural cardiology and precision medicine.
