Education
- Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBCh), Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt (February 2017, Summa Cum Laude).
Current Position
- PGY1 Resident - Internal Medicine, Yale-New Haven Hospital, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Research Impact
- My research has shown the value of iFR and MD-CT in the assessment of challenging coronary lesions (bifurcation and chronic total occlusion).
- Our research established the non-inferiority of TAVR to SAVR in low-to-moderate risk patients with aortic stenosis and compared the outcomes of different valves.
- In cardio-oncology, we assessed the burden of cardiac tumors, cancer-related cardiac death, and effects of cancer on PCI outcomes.
- Through basic research, we uncovered the value of some therapeutics as diosmin, fucoidan, metformin, and telmisartan in preventing chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.
- Research cited in 14 national/international guidelines, drug updates, and state policies.
- Overall, my research was cited > 1000 times according to Google Scholar (h-index: 19) and 700 times according to Scopus Database (h-index: 14).
- More than 30 papers listed by the NICE Guidelines website as reliable sources of evidence.
- Research covered in Scientific American and Atlas of Science magazine.
