JACC specialty podcast
JACC specialty podcasts are getting more numerous and higher in quality. This requires a lot of work in time, so the efforts are commendable. Podcasts need to focus on objective evidence, and hyperbole and opinions should be minimized. Listeners want to have the evidence and the actual data, not broad subjective assessments of treatments and interventions.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Author Interview: Defining Clinically Meaningful Within-Patient Changes in Heart Failure | JACC: Heart Failure

Q: What is the intended audience for this position statement and how should clinicians use it in practice?

The primary audience is patients and clinicians involved in shared decision making, with regulatory bodies and trialists also benefiting; the document aims to provide a framework for interpreting trial results in a patient-centered way and to guide future trial design.

Author Interview: Defining Clinically Meaningful Within-Patient Changes in Heart Failure | JACC: Heart Failure

Q: How do you see the relationship between traditional outcomes and feel-and-function endpoints guiding future trial design?

We should design trials that rank outcomes by what matters to patients, incorporating both hard outcomes and quality-of-life measures, and consider win-ratio approaches that reflect patient weighting of different outcomes rather than relying solely on mortality or hospitalization metrics.

Author Interview: Defining Clinically Meaningful Within-Patient Changes in Heart Failure | JACC: Heart Failure

Q: Can you give me an example of how absolute risk reduction and number needed to treat change the interpretation of a trial for patients?

Using the Victoria Trial example, although the relative risk reduction appeared modest, the absolute risk reduction and a number needed to treat around 25 highlighted a meaningful benefit for high-risk patients, showing tangible, patient-relevant impact beyond the abstract relative figures.

Multimodality Imaging and Pace-Mapping Patterns in Patients With Cardiac Sarcoidosis and Ongoing Inflammation Undergoing Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation | JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology

Q: What hypotheses do you have for why mortality differences exist among age groups?

The age-related differences likely arise from several simultaneous processes, including changes in disease phenotype and risk factors, delays in recognition and diagnosis, and varying access to new treatments like TAVR, rather than a single cause.

Author Interview: Who Will Care for the Heart? Structural Changes in the U.S. Cardiology Workforce, 2005-2023 | JACC: Advances

Q: Could you walk us through the primary findings regarding the state of the workforce over the last two decades that you had reviewed in your article?

The study shows that total cardiologists increased modestly from about 21,000 to 23,000, a roughly 9–10% rise, but when adjusted for population growth, the cardiologists-per-100,000 metric declined about 0.3% annually. The workforce is aging, with two-thirds over 55 years old by 2021, and the younger-to-older age ratio is shifting unfavorably. Female representation has increased from ~9% to ~17%, but remains underrepresented, and IMGs now account for about a third of the workforce, up from 28% in 2005. Overall, cardiologists' per-capita density is eroding while demand rises.
