The 2026 Dyslipidemia Guidelines Playbook: From Evidence to Action
Join host Dr. Keerthana Pakanati for an in-depth discussion with two leaders in preventive cardiology, Dr. Roger Blumenthal and Dr. Ty Gluckman, as they break down the highly anticipated 2026 ACC/AHA/Multisociety Dyslipidemia Guidelines. In this episode, the panel explores the biggest updates shaping lipid management today, including LDL-C targets, the PREVENT risk score, coronary artery calcium (CAC), Lp(a), apoB, and the evolving role of personalized risk assessment. The conversation also dives into practical strategies for applying the guidelines in real-world clinical practice, navigating treatment barriers, and improving long-term cardiovascular prevention. Listeners will gain expert insight into: • Key changes in the 2026 dyslipidemia guidelines • Treat-to-target vs. threshold-based therapy • Risk stratification using PREVENT, CAC, Lp(a), and apoB • Lipid management in women and younger patients • Cost, access, adherence, and emerging therapies • The future of preventive cardiology and systems-based care A must-listen episode for clinicians, trainees, and anyone passionate about advancing cardiovascular prevention.

ACC 2026 Prevention Recap: Trainee Perspectives from the Frontlines
In this episode of The Heart of Prevention, we zero in on the late-breaking clinical trials from ACC 2026 that are poised to shape the future of cardiovascular prevention. Featuring trainees who attended the conference, we unpack the most practice-changing data across lipid management, cardiometabolic therapies, and risk reduction strategies. Our discussion highlights not just the results, but the clinical context—what these trials mean for patient care, where they challenge existing paradigms, and how they may influence guidelines moving forward. From nuanced shifts in treatment thresholds to emerging therapies and implementation challenges, our trainee panel brings fresh, thoughtful perspectives from the frontlines of ACC. We also reflect on key themes across the late breakers, including personalization of prevention, residual risk, and advancing equity in cardiovascular care. Whether you’re looking for a high-yield summary or deeper clinical insight, this episode delivers a focused, trainee-driven breakdown of the trials everyone is talking about. Tune in for sharp analysis, practical takeaways, and what to watch next in prevention science.

Seeing Atherosclerosis: How Coronary Calcium Transforms Risk Assessment
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for refining cardiovascular risk assessment in asymptomatic individuals. A CAC score of zero is associated with extremely low event rates even among those with multiple risk factors, while elevated scores identify individuals who benefit most from preventive therapies. Yet despite robust evidence and guideline endorsement, CAC scoring remains underutilized in clinical practice. In this episode of "The Heart of Prevention," Dr. Michael Blaha and Dr. Khurram Nasir explore how CAC scoring transforms primary prevention from a population-based approach to truly personalized medicine. They discuss the "power of zero"—how the absence of coronary calcium can safely defer or avoid certain preventive therapies—and how elevated scores guide intensification of treatment, from statins to aspirin and beyond.
