In this episode, Dr. Eagle looks back at 2025 and explores some of the significant developments that show how the College is responding to changes in the way we evaluate, manage, and follow patients with various types of cardiovascular disorders. His survey of topics that received the most attention include the new guidelines on hypertension, acute coronary syndromes, the management of adults with congenital heart disease, cardiogenic shock, pericarditis, sports cardiology, weight management, amyloid heart disease and inflammation. Last year's most popular articles include insights into SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), flu vaccines, anticoagulation, and much more impacting the changing landscape of cardiology.

In this week's View, Dr. Eagle highlights several important studies presented at the recent American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. The OCEAN Trial on antithrombotic and stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib). He then explores VESALIUS-CV, a study on evolocumab versus placebo in patients with atherosclerosis or diabetes and without previous myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses the POLY-HF study on the use of a daily polypill that boosts heart function, improves quality of life, and cuts hospitalizations in underserved patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

In this week's View, Dr. Eagle highlights several trials recently presented at the TCT Conference in San Francisco. The SELUTION DeNovo trial found that use of the sirolimus-eluting balloons with bailout stenting only if necessary was noninferior to routine drug-eluting stent implantation in patients with de novo coronary artery disease. In the ANDES trial, results showed that the use of direct oral anticoagulants after left atrial appendage closure in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation was not superior to dual antiplatelet therapy in preventing device-related thrombosis. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses the PROCTOR study in which percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on saphenous vein grafts versus native vessel PCI in post-coronary artery bypass grafting in patients presenting with graft failure.

In this week's View, Dr. Eagle looks at a study comparing the use of aspirin and oral anticoagulants versus anticoagulants alone in the treatment of chronic coronary disease (CCD). He then explores complications after noncardiac surgery and the efficacy of perioperative blood pressure management. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses FLUNITY-HD, a study comparing high-dose flu vaccines to standard dose vaccines in reducing hospitalizations. Subscribe to Eagle's Eye View
In this week's View, Dr. Eagle looks at the social drivers behind the rise in heart disease mortality in California. He then explores the prevalence of preexisting cardiometabolic comorbidities and cardiovascular disease among pregnant women. Finally, Dr. Eagle discusses a recent prospective cohort study of patients who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and experience new-onset atrial fibrillation (AFib), and how the burden after surgery is very low, especially after 30 days.
