Mirza Umair Khalid, MD, social media editor of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, and Devraj Sukul, MD, MSc, discuss a recently published original research paper assessing the contemporary trends and outcomes of IVL versus atherectomy (rotational & orbital) in PCI.
Mohamed Al Kazaz, MD, shares insights into valvular disease in Asia, epidemiology of rheumatic heart disease, and lifelong management strategies. Moderated by Neeja Patel, MD.
In this podcast, Katelyn Atkins discusses a study led by Dr. Gerard Walls from Queens University, Belfast, which investigates cardiac volumetric parameters from radiation planning CTs to predict major adverse cardiac events in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The research highlights how baseline cardiac volumes, especially the left atrium and the left-to-right ventricle ratio, correlate with specific cardiac risks, emphasizing the need for optimized cardiovascular risk management and fu...
In this podcast, Dr. Katrina Poppe reviews a study by Celeste McCracken and Dr. Zahra Raisi-Estabragh that evaluates the effectiveness of cardiovascular risk scores in cancer survivors using UK Biobank data. The research reveals that standard risk scores often underestimate cardiovascular risk in cancer survivors, particularly those with Hodgkin's lymphoma, hematological cancers, and brain malignancies, highlighting the need for tailored risk assessment tools for this population.

Mohamed Al Kazaz, MD, describes pericardial disease, incidence of TB associated pericarditis in Asia, and approaches in different healthcare settings. Moderated by Neeja Patel, MD.
In this podcast, Dr. Nowell Fine discusses a study on atrial fibrillation as a prognostic factor in patients with transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy, highlighting its high prevalence but limited prognostic significance. The research, part of the TTR ACT trial, underscores the need for ongoing investigation into optimal management strategies for atrial fibrillation in this complex patient population.
In this podcast, Gerard Walls reviews a pivotal study led by Dr. Katelyn Atkins on radiation-induced arrhythmias in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The research provides a groundbreaking analysis of how radiation doses impact various types of arrhythmias, offering new insights for predicting and mitigating these common cardiac side effects.
In this podcast, Dr. Tim Markmann discusses a groundbreaking method for treating cardiac tumors using echocardiography-guided transapical radiofrequency ablation. This innovative approach from Dr. Liwen Liu and his team, which involves delivering thermal energy to the tumor via a percutaneous needle, shows promising results in reducing tumor size and alleviating heart failure symptoms, though it requires further study to address potential risks such as ventricular arrhythmias.
In this podcast, Dr. Fleure Gallant and Dr. Reshma Jagsi discuss a pivotal study by Busschaert et al. on the cost-effectiveness of Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy. They highlight how DIBH significantly reduces heart radiation dose and cardiac events, while also noting its higher costs and impact on clinical workflow, ultimately concluding that DIBH remains a cost-effective option compared to free breathing techniques.
