sram and Shimano compatability

I have a sram apex 10 speed drive train on my road bike but need a new large 50T ring. Are chain rings from other drive train manufacturers compatible. There seem to be independents like FSA that are. The chains seem to be interchangable but I am not sure about the gear rings.

Chainsets and heel clearance

Hi everyone,
I currently use SRAM Rival crank/chainset, with no problems. I have a heel-in pedalling style (confirmed with a sports therapist) to alleviate knee pain. This means that my right shoe is not far from touching the rear mech cable alongside the chainstay when pedalling through the upstroke.
