About this episode

In this episode, Editor-in-Chief Harlan Krumholz explores the evolving landscape of cardiovascular medicine, beginning with a call for responsible stewardship of artificial intelligence. Highlights include a major registry study on percutaneous aspiration for right-sided endocarditis, the predictive power of polygenic risk scores in heart failure, and the diverse causes of myocardial infarction in younger adults—especially women. The episode also covers a randomized trial on Intensive versus conventional intraoperative blood pressure management on cardiovascular events after major abdominal surgery, a state-of-the-art review on stressor-associated atrial fibrillation, and insights into long-term antithrombotic therapy after PCI. Each segment underscores the need for precision, equity, and innovation in clinical practice.
