    E22: Rohan Khera

    In this episode of the AtheroTalk, we speak with Dr Rohan Khera from the Yale School of Medicine - a leading expert in big data and artificial intelligence, and their applications in cardiovascular medicine. Are you curious about digital phenotyping? Do you want to know which AI-powered tools are already in use or soon will be in clinical practice? Did you know that a simple ECG recording can reveal far more about the heart than just its electrophysiological properties? --------------------------------------------------- Script-prep: Azin Kheirkhah, Jan Novák Interviewer: Jan Novák

    E21: 2025 Focused Update of the 2019 ESC/EAS Guidelines for the management of dyslipidaemias

    This episode explores the 2025 Focused Update of the 2019 ESC/EAS Guidelines for the Management of Dyslipidaemias, highlighting key changes in cardiovascular risk assessment, LDL-C targets, Lp(a) interpretation, and lipid-lowering strategies. Listeners gain practical insights into how these updates impact everyday clinical decision-making and the future of dyslipidaemia management. ------------------------------------------------- Script-prep: Fotios Barkas, Maria Cherska Interviewer: Fotios Barkas, Maria Cherska

    E20: Bart van de Sluis

    We sit down with Prof. Bart van de Sluis, Professor of Molecular Genetics and Translational Biology at the University of Groningen (UMCG). His research unravels the molecular mechanisms that control lipid metabolism and endo-lysosomal cholesterol transport, key processes in cardiometabolic diseases such as fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis. Prof. van de Sluis leads a research group dedicated to understanding how receptor trafficking and inflammation are regulated, with a focus on the NF-κB signaling pathway. Using advanced cellular and mouse models, including CRISPR/Cas approaches, his team pushes the boundaries of molecular medicine. Beyond his research, he heads the Transgenic Mouse Clinic for Aging Research (CRISPR facility). Join us as we talk about his scientific journey, the challenges of translational research, and his vision for the future of molecular biology and cardiovascular science. ------------------------------------------------- Script-prep: Hana Bartuskova, Maria Giovanna Lupo, Sanne Maas, Tatyana Storozhenko Interviewer: Sanne Maas

    E18: EAS Paediatric Lipid Working Group

    Tune in to this special FH Awareness Week episode of our podcast featuring Prof. Steve Humphries. In this conversation, he shares valuable insights into familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) and introduces the newly established EAS Paediatric Lipid Working Group. He highlights the importance of early detection, collaboration, and awareness to improve care and outcomes for children living with inherited lipid disorders. --------------------------------------------------- Script-prep: Hana Bartuskova, Joana Rita Chora, Laura Gaita, Azin Kheirkhah Interviewer: Azin Kheirkhah

    E17: EAS Consensus Statement on Systemic Metabolic Disorders

    Rates of obesity and related metabolic disorders have risen dramatically worldwide, yet most treatment strategies still focus on individual conditions, missing the bigger picture. A new Consensus Statement from the European Atherosclerosis Society introduces a holistic, clinically actionable framework that reflects disease progression across three stages, from early metabolic changes to advanced organ damage. In this episode, we discuss this new staging system in detail in an interview with the lead author, and we also hear from two EAS Young Fellows who worked behind the scenes, offering unique insights that go beyond what is published in the manuscript. --------------------------------------------------- Script-prep: Mariia Cherska, Azin Kheirkhah, Elena Rodriguez Sanchez Interviewer: Azin Kheirkhah, Elena Rodriguez Sanchez
