JACC in a Flash | Dual-Energy Lattice-Tip Catheter; Site Selection and Trial Representation
Featured topics and Editors' Picks from all of ACC's JACC Journals.
Catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) with a lattice-tip catheter that allows toggling between radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and pulsed field ablation (PFA) "appeared effective and generally safe," based on findings from the CLEAR-VT Registry study presented at HRS 2026 and simultaneously published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology. This study was the first in the U.S.
Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP), vs. right ventricular pacing (RVP), significantly reduced the composite of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM), heart failure hospitalization (HFH) and all-cause mortality in patients with a high pacing burden and high risk of cardiac dysfunction, based on LBBP-FAVOUR results presented at HRS 2026 and simultaneously published in JACC.
Women and minority participants were underrepresented in premarket approval (PMA) studies for coronary stents, thus they did not fully reflect the intended-use population (IUP), according to research on enrollment implications of site selection published in JACC.
Submissions Wanted!
All JACC Journals: Take advantage of the opportunity to amplify your abstract, case study or late-breaking trial being presented at ESC Congress 2026 in Munich by simultaneously publishing in JACC Journals. Manuscripts should be submitted for consideration by June 29 for the best chance of publication and up to July 20 for Hotline trials. Read more information.
JACC: Case Reports: Survivors of single-ventricle physiology and subsequent interventions are some of the most complex patients, and are increasingly surviving into later adulthood with additional layers of complexity and opportunities for novel interventions and management. Submit your original research and clinical cases by June 24 and help shape the future of specialized care for this growing patient population.
JACC: Advances: Submit your original research and/or viewpoints for a special Focus Issue aimed at showcasing new developments in preventive cardiology. Specifically, the issue will highlight the global burden of cardiovascular disease, identify critical gaps in prevention, and bring to our practitioners and researchers the latest science and developments in the fields of prevention, genomics, nutrition, therapeuticsand implementation tools to promote cardiovascular health. Submissions are due by Aug. 1.
Visit the Author Center at JACC.org for more details on these and other calls for papers.
