In this Chinese-language interview, JACC: Asia Deputy Editor Dong Zhao, MD, and author Liang Chen, MD, PhD, discuss Dr. Chen’s work on a national multi-center cohort registry in China focused on arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). The study highlights the genetic differences in ACM between Asian and Western populations, the importance of genotype-phenotype correlation, and the use of machine learning to enhance diagnosis and risk stratification.

In this episode, host Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, is joined by Dr. Shoichiro Yatsu, MD, to discuss his sub-analysis of the ADVENT-HF trial, recently published in JACC: Heart Failure. The study investigates the effects of peak-flow-triggered adaptive servo-ventilation (ASVPF) on left ventricular (LV) structure and function in patients with heart failure and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Compared to earlier studies using different ASV algorithms, ADVENT-HF highlights the safety and clinical value of ASVPF, showing meaningful improvements in sleep quality, symptoms, and quality of life. Dr. Yatsu also shares insights from managing legacy trial data collected over more than a decade.

In this episode, hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, and Satoshi Shoji, MD, are joined by Dr. Yoichiro Sugizaki, MD, for an in-depth discussion on his landmark OCT-based study investigating chronic stent recoil (CSR) and its impact on target lesion revascularization (TLR) in the contemporary era of thin-strut, second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES). Together, they delve into the frequency, mechanisms, and clinical relevance of CSR—an underappreciated phenomenon increasingly observed in heavily calcified or eccentric lesions despite technological advancements in stent design. The conversation underscores why recognizing CSR is essential for interventional cardiologists and explores practical strategies to mitigate its impact.
