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 and cancer-related cardiac death.
- Through basic research, we uncovered the value of some therapeutics as diosmin, metformin, and telmisartan in preventing chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.
- Research cited in 12 national/international guidelines, drug updates, and state policies.
- Overall, my research was cited about 800 times according to Google Scholar and 600 times according to Scopus Database (h-index: 13-16).
- 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.
