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 129: The Heart of Healthcare: Rebuilding Physician Resilience
This week's edition of Parallax features an illuminating conversation between host, Dr Ankur Kalra, and Dr Clif Knight. From practicing family physician to passionate advocate for systemic change, Dr Knight's remarkable career journey provides a unique lens through which to examine physician well-being in contemporary healthcare environments.
Dr Knight shares how his early observations of colleagues struggling without adequate support systems sparked his dedication to addressing the fundamental inefficiencies and structural barriers undermining physician resilience. The discussion examines how the healthcare landscape has evolved over generations, challenging simplistic narratives about millennial physicians' susceptibility to burnout by contextualizing how documentation burdens, technological implementations, and regulatory frameworks have created unprecedented complexity.
Listeners will appreciate Dr Knight's nuanced analysis of the physician ecosystem's five distinct levels and how interventions at each stage—from organizational leadership priorities to individual behavioural practices—can meaningfully enhance well-being. The episode offers actionable insights for healthcare professionals seeking to recalibrate their relationship with medical practice, while also raising important questions about how commercial influences in healthcare delivery may affect both physician autonomy and patient care.
For anyone interested in sustainable healthcare systems that support both practitioners and patients, this discussion provides essential perspective on rebuilding resilience at personal and institutional levels.
