And it's going to review how that's progressed its treatment efficacy in both those of white, and men and women of black race. But before we get to that, how about we grab a cup of coffee and jump into some of the other articles in

Lots to go over in that feature. But before we get to that, how about we grab a cup of coffee and start in with som

Dr James de Lemos: Hello, my name is James de Lemos. I'm the executive editor for Circulation, and I'm delighted to be joined here by Tim Gardner professor of surgery at University of Pennsylvania and our long-term associate editor in charge of cardiac surgical content at Circulation; and Marc Ruel, who is professor of cardiac surgery at University of Ottawa and the chair of the department there and who for many years has led the cardiac surgery supplement issue. Mark, Tim, welcome. Marc, please introduce this issue for our listeners. Dr Marc Ruel: Thanks so much, James. It's a very exciting year academically for cardiac surgery. We've had a lot of great developments from new data on long-term patency and outcomes with radial artery graphs through the results of the ischemia trial. And I think the 2020 themed issue around cardiovascular surgery is exactly in that framework. I think it will garner wide interest. It has a number of original papers, six original research articles, two more translational papers

A really important discussion coming right up. But before we do that, let me tell you about a paper in today's issue that really provides novel mechanistic insights into atrial fibrillation pathogenesis. In fact, this is the first paper to demonstrate that decreased expression of a striated muscle preferentially expressed protein kinas

TRANSCRIPT: Dr Greg Hundley: Welcome everyone to this September 1 issue, as we start into the fall in North America, and I guess we're getting into spring-ish in the Southern hemisphere.

We talk about sugar sweetened beverages and their health impacts, but don't actually look at how tax policies may impact cardiovascular outcomes. So this paper is super interesting, can't wait to get to it, but I really want to get my cup of coffee and discuss a couple of other really cool stuff in today's issue. I'm going to start. Do you think about factor V Leiden much? Dr Greg Hundley: Carolyn, we are early in August and we have all new house officers rotating, and actually we do discuss fac

And I'm going to start, Greg. Are you ready with your coffee? Dr Greg Hundley: I am. Dr Carolyn Lam: The first original paper really represents seminal work, showing that the endothelium can directly regulate obesity and insulin resistance. Now, as obesity develops, there is a decline in adipose tissue vascularity, which seems counterintuiti

I'm going to leave it at that, leave you guessing because you've got to hang on as we tell you about the rest of the issue and then listen to the feature discussion. Now, the first original paper here, I want to describe as a basic paper focusing on PDE4B in heart failure.

And I'll go first this time, because this week we're going to introduce another new feature in addition to Carolyn's Quiz. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wait a minute. This was not on the script. What's going on, Greg? Dr Greg Hundley: It's on the script! Carolyn, let me get to my first paper. It's from Professor Junling Liu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medici
