Reframing Cardiovascular Care | JACC Thi...

AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY
About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Harlan Krumholz introduces the September 16, 2025 issue of JACC, which features studies that challenge conventional clinical thinking, including a detailed ECMO physiology study showing that higher ECMO flow does not uniformly raise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, suggesting the need for individualized management. A novel analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial revealed distinct angina symptom trajectories, emphasizing that recovery is not binary and supporting a more personalized approach to treatment and monitoring. A landmark target trial emulation found that statins significantly reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 1 diabetes—filling a key evidence gap. Additional highlights include a call to redefine early cardiogenic shock, a nuanced review of moderate secondary mitral regurgitation, and an editorial reaffirming JACC's commitment to independent, transparent science in alignment with new "Gold Standard Science" principles.
