In this podcast series, editors-in-chief from the JACC family of specialty journals provide highlights and summarize key findings for select issues. Published by the American College of Cardiology, the JACC Journals publish peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of cardiovascular disease, including original clinical studies, translational investigations with clear clinical relevance, state-of-the art papers, and review articles. They are top ranked for impact factor and their manuscripts are…
In this episode, Frank Marchlinski, MD, Deputy Editor of JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, discusses a study evaluating whether abrupt wall-thickness transitions on cardiac CT scans can help identify critical ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrate in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The investigators found that these CT-derived structural markers frequently co-localized with VT isthmus…
Dinesh Kalra and Javed Butler discuss the development of an artificial intelligence screening tool to identify high-risk patients who should be considered for diagnostic testing for ATTR-cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) from an unselected heart failure (HF) population.
Francis E. Marchlinski, MD, Deputy Editor of JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, discusses the S3-STaMP study, which evaluated a novel mapping strategy for patients with hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT). The investigators found that STaMP mapping, guided by the S3 functional mapping protocol, rapidly identified critical VT circuit pathways in nearly three-quarters of patients…
