This episode is part of ACC's ongoing initiative to advance education on remote hemodynamic monitoring in heart failure management. Drs. Vishal Rao and Sandip Zalawadiya, along with Ms. Lisa Rathman, CRNP, discuss patient cases highlighting both successful pulmonary artery (PA) pressure device implantation and associated complications. They emphasize key practical considerations, including device placement, patient selection, waveform accuracy, troubleshooting, and team coordination during the procedure.

This episode is part of ACC's ongoing effort to improve recognition and diagnosis of arrhythmias in clinical practice. In this CardiaCast, faculty explore a modern approach to identifying paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), with a focus on real-world diagnostic challenges. The discussion highlights how to differentiate PSVT from other common causes of palpitations, interpret normal electrocardiograms between episodes, and recognize patterns that may be misattributed to anxiety, particularly in otherwise healthy patients. The episode also reviews practical strategies for rhythm capture, including ambulatory monitoring and patient-directed documentation, to support timely and accurate diagnosis.

In this episode, hosts Rosy Thachil, MD, FACC, and Shashank Sinha, MD, FACC, are joined by Jacob Jentzer, MD, FACC, and Ami Bhatt, MD, FACC, Chief Innovation Officer of the American College of Cardiology, for an engaging discussion on AI in the CICU: Transforming Cardiac Critical Care. The conversation explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to reshape cardiac critical care—from improving clinical decision support and hemodynamic monitoring to predict patient deterioration and optimizing CICU workflows. The panel also discusses the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into everyday practice and what the future may hold for clinicians caring for the sickest cardiovascular patients.

This CardiaCast episode explores the latest advances in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) presented at ACC.26, with a focused review of newly released late-stage clinical trial data for currently available disease-modifying therapies. Expert faculty Drs. Sarah Cuddy and Prem Soman break down how emerging evidence is reshaping treatment selection, including considerations for efficacy, safety, and patient-specific factors. The discussion highlights practical strategies for integrating these new findings into real-world clinical practice to optimize outcomes for patients with ATTR-CM.

In this episode of CardiaCast, Dr. Michael Blaha will be joined by Dr. Ann Marie Navar to discuss the 2026 updates to ACC/AHA guideline on management of dyslipidemia and key clinical trial data supporting the use of PCSK9 inhibitors in getting patients to their lipid goals. They discuss available PCSK9 inhibitors, including the recently approved injectable PCSK9 inhibitor lerodalcibep-liga. After discussing the limitations and barriers associated with injectable PCSK9 inhibitors, they will introduce the emerging oral PCSK9 inhibitors and explore the latest clinical data for enlicitide and AZD0780.

This episode is part of ACC's ongoing initiative to advance education on remote hemodynamic monitoring in heart failure management. Drs. Michael Zile, JoAnn Lindenfeld, and William Abraham explore the core capabilities of these devices and how emerging innovations aim to address current limitations. The conversation highlights how clinicians can interpret pressure data and define optimal targets, incorporates the growing role of direct-to-patient communication, and concludes with practical strategies for integrating device-generated insights into clinical workflows to improve patient outcomes.

In this episode, Drs. Christie Ballantyne and Eugenia Gianos discuss updates regarding the management of dyslipidemia released in new guidelines from the ACC and AHA Joint Committee on Clinical Practical Guidelines. Drs. Ballantyne and Gianos highlight the risks associated with high LDL-C levels and recent developments in clinical guidelines for patients who meet specific criteria for diagnosis and treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). Up-to-date therapies are explored in depth.

In this episode, Drs. Ahmad Masri and Kevin Alexander review emerging clinical data in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) presented at the Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting and the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2025, including key findings from the ATTRibute-CM and HELIOS-B trials. The discussion highlights recent publications evaluating currently available disease-modifying therapies. Drs. Masri and Alexander translate these new data into practical insights for clinicians, focusing on how evolving evidence may influence treatment selection, therapeutic sequencing, and integration of disease-modifying therapies into everyday clinical practice.

In this episode, Gregory Piazza, MD, FACC, Elvira Grandone, MD, PhD, and Abbey R. Kruper, PsyD, ABPP walk through the clinical and emotional challenges of the link between thrombosis and fertility. They discuss how clotting disorders can influence infertility, what this means for future thrombotic and cardiovascular risk, and how to support patients who are already managing significant stress. The faculty also outlines practical guidance for counseling patients who have experienced thrombosis during pregnancy or assisted reproductive therapy and who want to continue growing their families.

In this episode, Drs. Christie Ballantyne and Anne Goldberg discuss updates on familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) diagnosis and management. Recent publications in January 2026 in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology and The Journal of Pediatrics address refined diagnostic criteria and special populations including children and pregnant women. In this podcast episode, Drs. Ballantyne and Goldberg discuss the importance of early detection, genetic testing, and treatment.
