• What's the Best Time to Revascularize the Non-culprit Lesions in MVD

  Rapid emergency medical services transport to a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-capable hospital is critical for timely intervention and management of life-threatening arrhythmias in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients. Upon emergency room arrival, immediate transfer to the cath lab is essential to restore perfusion and improve both short- and long-term cardiovascular outcomes, as recommended by clinical guidelines. Interventional cardiologists must also be adept at managing culprit lesions in multivessel disease (MVD) and addressing complications like the no-reflow phenomenon during PCI.   In this interview, Drs. Dipti Itchhaporia and Nabil Farag discuss “What's the Best Time to Revascularize the Non-culprit Lesions in MVD.”   Suggested Materials:  Byrne RA, Rossello X, Coughlan JJ, et al. 2023 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes [published correction appears in Eur Heart J. 2024 Apr 1;45(13):1145. doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehad870.]. Eur Heart J. 2023;44(38):3720-3826. doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehad191  Mehta SR, Wood DA, Meeks B, et al.

• Putting it All Together: Cardiogenic Shock Management in 2025

  Cardiogenic shock remains a critical, time-sensitive emergency with a high mortality rate. However, recent advances—particularly multidisciplinary, team-based strategies—have shown promise in improving patient outcomes.  With the release of the 2025 ACC Concise Clinical Guidance on Cardiogenic Shock, clinicians now have access to a streamlined, evidence-informed roadmap for early recognition, rapid stabilization, and escalation of care.    In this episode, Drs. Glenn A. Hirsch and Shashank S. Sinha explore the latest strategies in cardiogenic shock management in 2025, emphasizing the how the new guidance integrates clinical decision-making tools and highlighting the role of shock teams and regional partnerships in optimizing care delivery.   SUGGESTED MATERIALS:    Sinha SS, Geller BJ, Katz JN, et al; American Heart Association Acute Cardiac Care and General Cardiology Committee of the Council on Clinical Cardiology; Council on Cardiopulmonary, Critical Care, Perioperative and Resuscitation; Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing; and Council on Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease.

• Hemodynamic Assessment for Diagnosis and Treatment Selection in HFpEF

  Heart failure arises when the heart is unable to pump or fill with blood effectively. In the cardiac catheterization lab, we have the unique ability to directly measure the physiological abnormalities underlying this condition, making it the gold standard for diagnosing heart failure. While not every patient requires heart catheterization, it is often essential for those with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This is because noninvasive tests, which are commonly used, frequently fall short—providing false reassurance and leading to missed diagnoses. As a result, HFpEF remains underrecognized. And ultimately, a condition that goes unrecognized cannot be properly treated.    In this interview, Drs. Matthew Martinez and Barry Borlaug discuss “Hemodynamic Assessment for Diagnosis and Treatment Selection in HFpEF.”    Subscribe on Apple Podcasts | Subscribe to ACCEL

• Primary Results From the SOUL Randomized Trial

  The SOUL trial demonstrated that in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), or both, treatment with oral semaglutide significantly reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) compared to placebo—without an increase in serious adverse events. These findings position oral semaglutide as a compelling option with cardiovascular benefits consistent with those seen in injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists.   In this episode, Drs. Deepak L. Bhatt and Darren K. McGuire explore how the SOUL trial further strengthens the favorable risk-benefit profile of oral semaglutide for patients with T2DM and coexisting ASCVD and/or CKD, highlighting its potential to reshape cardiovascular risk management in this high-risk population.   SUGGESTED MATERIALS  McGuire DK, Marx N, Mulvagh SL, et al.; SOUL Study Group. Oral Semaglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in High-Risk Type 2 Diabetes. N Engl J Med. 2025 Mar 29. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2501006.

• Clopidogrel Versus Aspirin For Long-term Maintenance Monotherapy In Patients With High Ischemic Risk After PCI

  The SMART-CHOICE 3 trial demonstrated that clopidogrel monotherapy is more effective than aspirin monotherapy in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in high-risk patients who completed standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite concerns that more potent antiplatelet agents may increase bleeding risk, the study found that clopidogrel significantly reduced ischemic events—including myocardial infarction and all-cause death—without increasing bleeding risk, making it a highly favorable option for long-term maintenance therapy.   In this episode, Drs. Allen J. Taylor and Joo-Yong Hahn discuss the clinical implications of these findings and offer insights into selecting the optimal single antiplatelet regimen after PCI.    SUGGESTED MATERIALS  Choi H, Park H, Lee JY, et al. Efficacy and safety of clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy in patients at high risk of subsequent cardiovascular event after percutaneous coronary intervention (SMART-CHOICE 3): a randomised, open-label, multicentre trial.
