In the latest episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Martha Gulati and Dr Anu Lala for a groundbreaking conversation about reimagining heart failure prevention across the entire disease spectrum. Their discussion centres on an innovative scientific statement developed collaboratively between the American Society of Preventive Cardiology and the Heart Failure Society of America - a document that challenges conventional approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention.
Dr Gulati and Dr Lala make a compelling case for expanding prevention beyond atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) to encompass heart failure, a condition affecting one in four individuals over their lifetime. They introduce the American Heart Association's Cardio Kidney Metabolic (CKM) health framework as a superior model for identifying at-risk patients, explaining how this approach shifts focus from disease management to health optimization. The conversation explores practical implementation strategies, including the new PREVENT risk score, which integrates critical heart failure risk factors like obesity and chronic kidney disease that traditional assessment tools overlook.

EP 128: Cinema's Cardiac Crisis: Examining MI Representation in Popular Film
In this thought-provoking episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra explores the unexpected intersection of cardiology and popular culture with Dr Kristen Shaw and Dr Kevin Harris from the Minneapolis Heart Institute. Their conversation centers around their recently published systematic analysis, "Portrayal of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Popular Film: A Review of Gender, Race, and Ethnicity".
Through examination of 100 popular films, our guests unpack striking statistics: 90% of on-screen heart attacks occur in men, and symptom presentation is dramatically overplayed compared to clinical reality. The conversation delves into how these media portrayals potentially shape both patient behavior and public health outcomes, particularly for underrepresented populations.
From exploring the stark disconnect between cinematic drama and clinical presentation to discussing practical solutions for improving public health messaging, this episode offers crucial insights for healthcare providers working to bridge the gap between media perception and medical reality. The discussion extends into broader themes of healthcare mistrust in the post-pandemic era, offering valuable perspectives on how improved representation could enhance patient education and emergency response outcomes.
Essential listening for cardiologists, healthcare educators, and anyone interested in how media shapes public understanding of cardiovascular disease.
