New in Circulation: #HFC members review the use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in #heartfailure trials. Butler et al. outline key challenges—tool selection, timing, meaningful change, and stats—that must be addressed for wider PRO adoption in research and care.

#VICTORIA demonstrated benefits of sGC stimulator vericiguat in recent worsening HF & led to its #FDA approval in '21 New JACC Journals nationwide analysis finds use thus far has been limited jacc.org/doi/abs/10.101… Will #VICTOR (no recent worsening HF) support its broader use?

Inova is the first health system in the Mid-Atlantic to adopt enterprise-wide lead apron–free radiation protection. State-of-the-art Rampart systems in the Cath Labs show 99%+ radiation attenuation. An important step to assure safety for team members & patients! Christopher O'Connor

Is it time to rethink how we analyze HF trials? Click to read on how this paper by #HFC members Dr. Milton Packer, Dr. Scott D. Solomon, Dr. John McMurray et al. seems to challenge common assumptions on repeat #HeartFailure events data jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… #clinicaltrials
