Cardiology

Guest: Akshay S. Desai, MD These video briefs feature expert insights on the latest clinical data presented at ACC 2025. Leading cardiologists discuss emerging nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), their efficacy in heart failure management, and their potential advantages over traditional steroidal MRAs. The series explores key trial findings, safety considerations, and clinical implications for optimizing patient care. Viewers will gain practical knowledge on integrating these novel therapies into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.

Guest: Craig Smith, MD On this episode of Advances in Care, host Erin Welsh and Dr. Craig Smith, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia discuss the highlights of Dr. Smith’s 40+ year career as a cardiac surgeon and how the culture of Columbia has been a catalyst for innovation in cardiac care. Dr. Smith describes the excitement of helping to pioneer the institution’s heart transplant program in the 1980s, when it was just one of only three hospitals in the country practicing heart transplantation. Dr. Smith also explains how a unique collaboration with Columbia’s cardiology team led to the first of several groundbreaking trials, called PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscatheteR Valve), which paved the way for a monumental treatment for aortic stenosis — the most common heart valve disease that is lethal if left untreated. During the trial, Dr. Smith worked closely with Dr. Martin B. Leon, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chief Innovation Officer and the Director of the Cardiovascular Data Science Center for the Division of Cardiology. Their findings elevated TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, to eventually become the gold-standard for aortic stenosis patients at all levels of illness severity …

Guest: Susheel Kodali, MD Susheel Kodali, MD, director of the Structural Heart and Valve Center at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, shares more about an innovative transcatheter therapy for tricuspid regurgitation (TR), which is providing a new treatment option that vastly improves quality of life. Results from the TRISCEND II trial demonstrated the safety and efficacy of a tricuspid valve replacement system, which was fast-tracked for FDA approval due to its clear benefit for the vulnerable TR patient population. © 2025 NewYork-Presbyterian

Host: Silke R. Brix, MD, MRCP, SCPR Guest: Andreas Kronbichler, MD Blood vessel inflammation that occurs with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis – or AAV – often results in damage that can lead to multi-organ involvement. This makes early diagnosis of this rare, autoimmune disease important for developing an effective treatment plan and personalized treatment selection a key success factor in the optimization of patient care.

Host: Renato D. Lopes, MD, MHS, PhD Guest: Alexander T. Cohen, MD, MBBS The effective management of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a high priority for many clinicians worldwide because a significant number of people globally who are living with AF are at risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). This makes our understanding and implementation of new findings and clinical trial outcomes that much more important as we develop effective, personalized treatment plans for our patients.
