Congratulations to two of the most incredible leaders I know! @NPagidipati is the new @DukeHeartCenter Section Chief of #preventivecardiology. She has a bold vision for clinical care and research of preventive approaches to reduce CVD burden

Now in @JACCJournals a new analysis from the VICTOR trial examines the effect of vericiguat on recurrent heart failure hospitalizations and death in ambulatory HFrEF, highlighting the value of recurrent-event analyses for capturing overall disease burden. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Out now in @JCardFail #HFC member @akshaydesaimd and colleagues revisit the role of cardiac glycosides in HF, highlighting their potential benefit for selected patients. Read the full paper here onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

Latest ICYMI from JCF Key HF insights from the recent HFA meeting in May @escardio It's tough to keep up with all the practice-changing insights from the various meetings - at JCF, we've got you! @PaulaRambarat @jozinetm onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

📣Call for Papers: JCF is accepting submissions for our focus issue: The New Frontier of Heart Function in Women. Research spanning the female lifespan, from reproductive health to HFpEF, prevention, and heart failure is encouraged. Submit by 9/15/26: bit.ly/4xQkPSR

We also discuss building a career in academic medicine—from finding the right institutional fit and developing a clinical trials program to mentoring future cardiologists and helping lead the @JCardFail with @robmentz. Some key advice: define success by the impact you have on patients and people, not by titles alone.

Our study is now published in @JACCJournals and examines trends in cardiac arrest mortality among young adults in the U.S. from 1999 to 2024 ❤️‍🩹 Link for full-text👉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @AnkurKalraMD @JamalRanaMD @SJGreene_md @robmentz @FudimMarat @MushoodCh @gcfmd

Have you invested time in a full peer review only to face rejection? Your next step is JCF-I Express: Court of Appeals. You can resubmit previously reviewed manuscripts (outside JCF), include prior reviews, and skip repeating the full process. 🔗 bit.ly/4fV1nOi

Can LVADs do more than support circulation? This JCF Ignite! article explores whether LVAD-mediated unloading can promote reverse remodeling and myocardial recovery, and whether some patients might benefit from LVAD therapy as a bridge to regeneration. 🔗bit.ly/3S0UHEj

Frustrated by the decline of thoughtful medical discussion online?! I've enjoyed the cardiology conversations @roondoctors Roon was built by doctors, for doctors and it shows Join the growing cardiology community on Roon: roon.com/doctors?utm_so…

I routinely use "time to benefit" data in my conversations with patients What are your thoughts? New insights @JCardFail for time to benefit of GLP1RA in HFmrEF / HFpEF + obesity Sustained outcome benefits observed from ~6 mos onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

How should palliative care fit into advanced HF care? The HeartPal program embedded palliative care within an advanced heart disease service, resulting in earlier referrals, more GoC discussions, fewer late referrals & reduced in-hospital deaths. bit.ly/3S4btlS

Poignant. Powerful. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable, @dranulala! Please take 2 min and read @JCardFail EIC page today.👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾@robmentz @DrMarthaGulati @AndrewJSauer @JasonKatzMD @noshreza @HFSA

With our July issue around the corner, sharing our 2nd reflection in a series on being on the “other side of the bed”. We are all human. It’s important for us share in vulnerability 🙏🏽 please let us know if you would like to share too. @JCardFail onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

Where do you land on AI in publishing?! Accelerating knowledge, integrating data, improving efficiency/consistency VS fabricated content, biased outputs, erosion of accountability Need transparency, provenance, enforceable human responsibility: academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…

🚨HF-CS is now more common than AMI-CS. This State-of-the-Art Review examines how microaxial flow pumps are reshaping HF-CS care through LV unloading, prolonged support, hemodynamic-guided management, and bridge-to-recovery/transplant strategies. 🫀📊 🔗 bit.ly/4ez3oye

From discovery to real-world impact. DCRI’s @manesh_patelMD begins his term as @American_Heart president July 1, bringing a clinical research lens to how evidence is generated and delivered to patients. More: duke.is/6/jpfh
