Top Clinical Trials It was another great year for trial coverage on ACC.org! There were almost 140,000 unique views of the top 10 trials and top 10 trial updates for the year. Treatment of heart failure and of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were hot topics. In addition to covering new trials, we updated prior trials with any related significant presentations or publications. We have added new features for our learners to make clear what is updated compared with the prior version of a clinical trial summary. Hopefully, this change allows quicker reading of these trial synopses. Interestingly, some of the trial updates had more views than de novo trial coverage. We have also started providing visual abstracts for some of the key trials at the major meetings. We are striving to make ACC.org a very user-friendly educational portal. On behalf of the ACC.org staff, Happy Holidays and a joyous New Year to you all! Deepak L.

Acute coronary syndromes are characterized by a sudden reduction in blood supply to the heart, and the syndromes include ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (or STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (or NSTEMI), and unstable angina. Each year, an estimated more than 7 million people in the world are diagnosed with acute coronary syndromes, including more than 1 million people hospitalized in the US. In this podcast with Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH, of Brigham and Women's Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute, we bring our listeners up-to-date on these common and potentially serious conditions.

Early in his career, Dr. Deepak L. Bhatt was considering becoming a basic science researcher. After an exchange with one of his mentors about doing science for the science's sake, he had a self-realisation: He wanted his work to have a direct impact on patient care. In the 50th episode of Parallax, Dr. Ankur Kalra's guest is Dr. Deepak L. Bhatt leading physician, researcher, lecturer, and educator who has authored or co-authored over 1650 publications and was recipient of the ACC's Distinguished Mentor Award in 2018 and AHA's Distinguished Scientist Award in 2019. In this candid and personal interview, Dr. Bhatt talks about the lessons he took away from being a proceduralist and how he applies them in his everyday life. Dr. Kalra asks Dr. Bhatt to share some of the housekeeping rules that guided him over the years. We learn more about the importance of mentorship and the people who shaped Dr. Bhatt. He reflects on what it means to be a physician and a researcher while he considers what makes scientific work impactful. Finally, Dr. Bhatt shares what he considers to be one of the most important personality traits of a good physician and/or researcher.
