In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Eunice Dugan, a graduating interventional and structural heart disease fellow at the Cleveland Clinic, as she prepares to transition into independent practice in Fort Wayne in the summer of 2026. Dr Dugan reflects on how early mentorship shaped her decision to engage with the American College of Cardiology during fellowship, and what professional societies can offer beyond the clinical environment — from expanding skill sets and building lasting networks to driving meaningful change. She shares how her role as a local FIT representative led her to organise a widely attended webinar helping fellows navigate the new interventional cardiology match. The conversation also tackles the attrition challenge that affects many early-career cardiologists in their first three to five years of practice: Dr Dugan, now transitioning into the ACC's Early Career Council, discusses the "fog" of establishing a new career and makes the case for cultivating a specific project during fellowship as a professional anchor through the pressures of a new post, relocation, and family life. She also speaks to her advocacy for women in cardiology, including championing open discussion around family planning and reproductive strategies — topics that remain underaddressed in the field.

In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Dr Kendra Grubb, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Structural Heart Interventions at Medtronic and former cardiac surgeon and professor at Emory University. Dr Grubb discusses her career journey from being an active clinician to a leader within the medical device industry, elaborating on the philosophy behind her choices and the concept of scaling impact beyond the operating theatre. This leads the discussion into an analytical dissection of the Evolut low-risk trial, with Dr Grubb explaining how the evolution of procedures such as cusp overlap and pre-dilation have made a world of difference in terms of improving results concerning paravalvular leaks and pacemaker implantations as well as comparing current long-term reintervention data to older methods. Other topics in this podcast include sex disparity in structural heart disease, specifically the issues around the diagnosis and treatment of female patients with fibrotic, low flow-low gradient aortic stenosis. Dr Grubb ends with her thoughts about the future direction of the field, which entails a comprehensive transcatheter/surgical approach towards mitral and tricuspid diseases, in addition to incorporating AI and robotics in precision valve therapy.

In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Dr Michelle Kittleson, Professor of Medicine and Advanced Heart Failure Cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, for a clinically rich breakdown of her standout trial picks from the 2026 ACC Annual Scientific Sessions. Dr Kittleson brings her characteristic precision to four landmark studies spanning heart failure and atrial fibrillation. She unpacks the SPIRIT HF trial — a negative study of spironolactone in HFpEF that, she argues, does not consign the drug to the shelf — and explains why its high discontinuation rate and pandemic-era disruptions complicate the headline result. For clinicians managing cost-conscious patients, her take on spironolactone as a practical alternative to finerenone is a perspective worth hearing. The conversation turns to the CADENCE trial, a Phase 2 study of sotatercept in Group 2 pulmonary hypertension secondary to HFpEF — a phenotype Dr Kittleson treats with particular caution given the risks of misdirected pulmonary vasodilator therapy. She offers measured optimism about what these early results might mean for future treatment of HFpEF-related lung remodelling. Dr Kalra and Dr Kittleson also enter the ongoing debate around left atrial appendage closure, weighing the contrasting conclusions of the CLOSURE AF and CHAMPION AF trials against each other — and against a shared conviction that anticoagulation remains the standard of care for the vast majority of patients with atrial fibrillation. Finally, they examine the STEMI Door to Unload trial, a cautionary study in indication creep: the microaxial flow pump that proves life-saving in cardiogenic shock offered no infarct-size benefit in haemodynamically stable STEMI patients — and came with a meaningful increase in bleeding and vascular complications. Dr Kittleson also shares her stepwise outpatient algorithm for a new HFpEF diagnosis, from ruling out mimics such as cardiac amyloidosis to sequencing SGLT2 inhibitors, MRAs, GLP-1 agonists, and ARNIs based on individual patient profile. The episode closes with a discussion of her new column for NEJM Voices, where she writes on the art of medicine.

Jace and Rocky break down the DC releases for the week of April 8, 2026. Gotham City Sirens is discussed with its standout Babs Tarr art, strong variant covers, and battle with the villain Horoscope, while Bleeding Hearts #3 continues the story from Poke's perspective as the zombie's inability to communicate with the surviving mother and child adds to the tension. Firestorm #1 launches DC's Next Level take on the character with Ronnie Raymond apparently trapped, Firehawk brought in to investigate, and the mystery of who is really controlling the Firestorm Matrix left unresolved. Nice House by the Sea #9 deepens the contrast between Walter's and Max's houses, raises questions about whether the destruction of Earth is even real, and continues exploring the changing dynamics between the people chosen to survive. Green Lantern Corps #15 focuses on John Stewart confronting Parallax and his past with help from Soranik Natu, while the Manhunters turn Aya's apparent victory into a trap by taking over her body. Action Comics #1097 follows Booster Gold, Martian Manhunter, and Mary Marvel traveling back to Superboy's era as Epoch steals the rocket that brought Kal-El to Earth. Supergirl #12 centers on Kara waking up in Kandor as a cybernetic Supergirl after being badly injured, with Black Flame's rebellion, the city's secrets, and Team Thunder all adding to the conflict. Emperor Aquaman is discussed with Arthur continuing to establish himself as "Emperor of the Blue" by setting up lighthouses across the universe, gaining King Shark's allegiance following his DC KO vision, and fulfilling a prophecy on another world by freeing a parasite-controlled race. Absolute Green Lantern #13 shifts to Ran, introducing Rack Shade, the M Zone, Professor Sardin, Alana, and Emily Hawk as the mythology around the Black Stars and the Controller of Mu continues to expand. As always the episode also includes a rundown of the week's reprints and collected edition releases, as well as Jace and Rocky rankings for all the books and their picks for Book of the Week.

In this fascinating episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Dr Benjamin Levine, Director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine and a pioneering figure in the field of space cardiology. Together, they explore the remarkable cardiovascular adaptations that occur in microgravity, and what they are teaching clinicians about treating patients on Earth. Dr Levine unpacks the haemodynamic realities of spaceflight, from the counterintuitive finding that central venous pressure actually drops to zero in microgravity, to the physiologic cardiac atrophy that results when the heart no longer pumps against gravitational load. He shares how this research has transformed the understanding and treatment of POTS, reframing it not as a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, but as a consequence of reduced stroke volume - and how horizontal exercise training borrowed directly from astronaut countermeasure programmes is now changing clinical practice. The conversation also turns to the emerging cardiovascular risks of long-duration spaceflight, including earlier onset atrial fibrillation, upper body venous thrombosis, and the intracranial pressure dynamics underlying spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome. Dr Levine discusses the Astro-CHARM risk score, NASA's approach to coronary calcium screening, and the forthcoming scientific statement on cardiovascular management in tactical athletes.

In this special TIO Congress edition of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by two of interventional cardiology's most influential voices: Professor Roxana Mehran, incoming President of the American College of Cardiology and Co-Course Director of TIO, and Professor Nicholas Van Mieghem, TIO Course Director. The conversation spans the evolution of online medical education, sex-specific differences in cardiovascular disease, and the challenge of translating clinical evidence into everyday practice. The guests explore sex as a biological variable across valve disease, plaque formation, and left ventricular remodeling, address the underdiagnosis of microvascular dysfunction in women, and examine persistent access barriers for female and non-white patients despite advances in trials such as SMART and RHEA. Professor Van Mieghem adds insights on modern TAVI planning and lifetime valve management, while Professor Mehran shares promising data on Factor XI inhibitors and the case for simplifying antithrombotic regimens. The episode closes on clinical inertia - with intravascular imaging uptake in the US still at just 12–15% despite a Class 1 indication, Professor Mehran outlines her ACC presidential vision: closing the gap between evidence and bedside practice, and reversing the troubling rise in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

In this episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra speaks with Dr Sameed Khatana, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and clinical cardiologist at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center. Their conversation examines the growing connection between environmental factors and cardiovascular health. Dr Khatana explains why conditions like air quality and temperature represent important determinants of cardiovascular outcomes. He shares observations from his Philadelphia practice: patients unable to exercise outdoors during extreme heat, medication challenges for those on diuretics during heatwaves, and economic pressures that force difficult choices between cooling costs and other necessities. The discussion explores both clinical interventions and systemic solutions, including programs like LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) and municipal heat action plans. Dr Khatana presents research showing that vulnerable populations—particularly older patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors—face disproportionate impacts from environmental stressors. Dr Khatana encourages cardiologists to engage with this evolving aspect of patient care, advocating for collaboration between professional societies, environmental scientists, and policymakers to develop effective strategies that support cardiovascular health in changing environmental conditions.

Ever been plugged into shore power but still had dim lights or a battery that won't stay charged? In this episode, Eric breaks down RV power converters in plain English—what they do, why they matter, and how to identify the style and brand you have in your rig. You'll learn the difference between 120V AC and 12V DC, where converters are usually located, and why knowing your converter's brand/model makes troubleshooting and replacing it much easier. We also cover single-stage vs multi-stage “smart” converters, and why charging profiles matter even more if you're running (or upgrading to) lithium batteries. To wrap up, we pivot to RV fire safety—where to keep fire extinguishers, why adding an extra one or two is smart, and why quality matters when you're buying a life-saving tool. Product Brands - WFCO, Parallax, Iota, PowerMax, Progressive Dynamics, Xantrex, Picquic, Victron, Amerex, Kidde, Ansul, Badger.

Hosted by Richard Drumm, our Editor. The word of the day today is parallax! Specifically stellar parallax. So what's parallax & what does it mean to astronomers? As it happens, I was part of the UVA Parallax team in the early 1980s. Best part-time job ever! So for once I might know a little bit about what I'm talking about! I'll do my best to describe it so you can understand the science.   An easy method to help grasp the concept is for you to hold out your thumb at arm's length and close one eye, then the other, switching back & forth between them while looking at your thumb. The location of your thumb seems to shift with each eye's view. If your, uh, thumb was 20 feet away from your eye, the shift would be much less. You can measure the baseline, the distance between your eyes and, using a little trigonometry calculate the distance to your thumb.
