OverviewAI-generated summary
Malek Al‐Hawwas's research focuses on cardiovascular interventions and outcomes, with a particular emphasis on the utility of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in assessing coronary artery disease. His work has investigated the diagnostic and prognostic value of FFR in various scenarios, including post-intervention assessment of residual ischemia and in-stent restenosis. He has published on FFR's ability to predict long-term target vessel failure and outcomes after functionally optimized coronary intervention.
Further research interests include meta-analyses on cardiovascular topics such as the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in heart failure patients and gender differences in outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Al‐Hawwas has a publication record and has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Barry F. Uretsky and Srikanth Vallurupalli.
