Background
In Brazil, previous research has highlighted that clinical teachers have little interest in teaching palliative care to undergraduate medical students and there is a need to obtain greater understanding of the reasons for this disinterest.

Objectives
Our objective was to explore the challenges experienced by Brazilian clinical teachers responsible for palliative care in undergraduate medical education.

Design, setting, participants
A qualitative exploratory study using semistructured interviews and analysed by thematic analysis. A total of six teachers responsible for teaching palliative care to medical students in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, were recruited. Interviews were conducted via video conferencing.

Results
Four themes were identified from the data: (1) conflicting ideals on clinical care, (2) teaching in palliative care: from the possible to the ideal, (3) missed teaching opportunities in palliative care and (4) challenges of palliative care in the health system. The main challenge of teaching palliative care was the lack of understanding of the concept and importance of palliative care within the healthcare system.

Conclusion
Challenges in teaching palliative care in Brazil include limited understanding of its importance, conflicting clinical care perspectives and emotional discomfort. Targeted strategies are recommended to prepare clinical teachers, integrate palliative care into curricula and address systemic barriers in similar low and middle income contexts.

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in adults despite recent scientific advancements. Although people are living longer lives, there may be an adverse impact on quality of life, necessitating a greater need for palliative care services and support. Palliative care for adults with advanced cardiovascular disease has the potential to significantly improve quality of life for individuals living with cardiovascular disease and their informal care partners. Effective communication, shared decision-making, age-friendly care principles, and advance care planning are vital components of palliative care and support comprehensive and holistic care throughout the advanced cardiovascular disease trajectory and across care settings. Current evidence highlights the benefits of palliative care in managing symptoms, reducing psychological distress, and supporting both people with cardiovascular disease and their care partners. However, significant gaps exist in palliative care research related to non–heart failure populations, care partner outcomes, and palliative care implementation in diverse populations. This scientific statement (1) discusses the application of effective communication, shared decision-making, age-friendly care, and advance care planning in advanced cardiovascular disease palliative care; (2) provides a summary of recent evidence related to palliative care and symptom management, quality of life, spiritual and psychological support, and bereavement support in individuals with advanced cardiovascular disease and their care partners; (3) discusses issues involving diversity, equity, and inclusion in cardiovascular disease palliative care; (4) highlights the ethical and legal concerns surrounding palliative care and implanted cardiac devices; and (5) provides strategies for palliative care engagement in adults with advanced cardiovascular disease for the care team.
