Feature | Making News in 2020
Without a doubt, the top news of 2020 was the COVID-19 pandemic. From the beginning, ACC was at the forefront of generating clinical guidance, providing expert commentary and facilitating the sharing of new research and front-line perspectives.
Top articles in 2020 include Cardiology magazine features on the risk of infectious agents and an exclusive interview with Anthony S. Fauci, MD; ACC's guide to safely resuming cardiovascular procedures, diagnostics and tests; insights from clinicians on the front lines of treating patients in China; and more. ACC's COVID-19 Hub includes links to these articles and much more.
Important cardiovascular research didn't stop with the pandemic. Hot clinical trials like VOYAGER-PAD, RIVER, and more made headlines from major cardiovascular meetings, including ACC.20/WCC Virtual.
Additionally, ACC's new expert consensus decision pathway on novel therapies for cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as new ACC/American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines addressing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease were also released in 2020.
Other top articles include a Cardiology magazine cover story addressing implicit bias; a joint statement from the ACC, the Association of Black Cardiologists and the AHA addressing issues of racism and violence; and a landmark JACC state-of-the-art review looking at the global burden of cardiovascular disease over the last 30 years (read more on this in our cover story).
