Summary

This JAMA Editors’ Summary podcast reviews key cardiology research from the European Society of Cardiology Congress. Hosts discuss trials on early PCSK9 inhibitor use, digital statin adherence interventions, and ICD implantation guided by cardiac MRI. Additional topics include atrial fibrillation ablation strategies, AI-driven screening for aortic stenosis and cardiac amyloidosis, and new classifications for myocardial infarction.
