About the episode

ACC 2026 — Prof Roxana Mehran (Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City, NY, USA), President of the American College of Cardiology, joins us for a candid leadership interview exploring her strategic vision for the College and its role in driving the future of cardiovascular medicine.

In this focused discussion, Prof Mehran reflects on the priorities shaping her presidency, the challenges facing the cardiovascular community, and how the ACC is positioning itself to lead on science, education, and patient care in the years ahead.

Interview Questions:

  1. As ACC President, what are your overarching strategic priorities for the College during your tenure?
  2. Where do you see the most urgent unmet needs in cardiovascular medicine today, and how is the ACC responding?
  3. How is the ACC evolving its approach to scientific education and knowledge dissemination in an increasingly digital landscape?
  4. Diversity, equity and inclusion remain critical issues across cardiology — what is the ACC doing to drive meaningful progress in this space?
  5. How do you see the relationship between clinical practice, research and industry evolving, and what role should the ACC play in shaping that dynamic?
  6. What does global leadership in cardiovascular care look like to you, and how is the ACC engaging with the international community?
  7. Looking ahead, what do you hope will be the defining legacy of your presidency for the College and for patients?
