Nonhemorrhagic Pericardial Effusion With Tamponade and Cardiogenic Shock Due to Large Coronary Artery Fistula | JACC

Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, Shun Kohsaka, MD, and Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, welcome Masashi Amano, MD, from the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center in Japan, to discuss his recent article titled "Validation of Guideline Recommendation on Sudden Cardiac Death Prevention in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy," published in JACC: Heart Failure.Drawing from the REVEAL-HCM registry of 3,611 patients across 21 Japanese centers, the study evaluated how well U.S. and European guidelines for ICD implantation apply to Japanese patients with HCM. The findings revealed poor outcomes in end-stage HCM (EF <50%) and favorable prognosis in apical HCM, a subtype more prevalent in Japan. Dr. Amano discusses the limitations of applying international risk stratification tools in a Japanese context and emphasizes the need for regional validation.

In this in-depth analysis of the Altshock-2 trial (Study on Early Intra-aortic Balloon Pump Placement in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock), Harlan M Krumholz, MD, FACC, goes deep into the study and its two related editorials. Listen here for this unique behind-the-scenes look at the review process, plus a thoughtful summary of the study and the two related editorials. All this content appears in JACC, in our special focus issue on cardiogenic shock.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster dives into the complex and high-stakes world of cardiogenic shock, spotlighting new clinical trials, expert consensus guidance, and cutting-edge insights from machine learning. From evaluating the impact of intra-aortic balloon pumps to rethinking mechanical support strategies, the episode delivers a powerful update on one of cardiology’s most urgent challenges.
