February 17, 2026: Women's Cardiovascular Health in Focus: From Inclusion to Redesign JACC This Week

In this episode of JACC This Week, Dr. Carolyn Lam and Dr. Harlan Krumholz explore the JACC Women's Cardiovascular Health Issue—an edition dedicated to advancing science, care, and professional culture for women in cardiology. The discussion spans original research and viewpoints addressing menopause and cardio-oncology risk, sex differences in dilated cardiomyopathy, device trials, rehabilitation after heart failure, global disparities, and the intersection of sex, race, and socioeconomic status in cardiovascular outcomes. Beyond inclusion, this episode highlights a deeper challenge: whether our systems of evidence generation, clinical care, and professional training are designed to serve women fully and routinely. The conversation also features a powerful viewpoint by Sarah Krumholz, Dueling Pursuits: Balancing Motherhood and Medicine, catalyzing a broader dialogue about leadership gaps, culture, and the future of cardiology. This episode sets the stage for a special bonus continuation focused on redesigning the profession for the next generation.
