February 3, 2026: A New Season of JACC This Week: Valve Disease, Editorial Vision, and Engaging the Global Cardiology Community JACC This Week

Welcome to the new season of JACC This Week! In this episode, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Harlan Krumholz is joined by co-host Dr. Carolyn Lam to kick off a refreshed, more conversational era of the podcast. Together, they reflect on the evolution of the show, approach to thematic curation, and introduce the February 3 issue of JACC, curated around valve heart disease. The discussion explores JACC's approach to thematic issues, the importance of timely publication, and how emerging evidence is shifting valvular heart disease management toward lifetime decision-making and patient-centered outcomes. Highlights include insights into aortic stenosis and regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, global perspectives on valve care, and what clinicians should be watching as transcatheter therapies continue to evolve. Dr. Krumholz also shares the thinking behind his Editor's Page on scientific writing—specifically, how a strong introduction earns the reader's trust—offering practical guidance for researchers at all stages. The episode sets the tone for a new season focused on rigor, relevance, global inclusion, and meaningful dialogue with the cardiovascular community.
