OverviewAI-generated summary

Malek Al‐Hawwas's research investigates cardiovascular interventions and treatments, with a focus on percutaneous coronary intervention strategies and outcomes. His work includes evaluating the prognostic impact of residual SYNTAX scores on in-hospital outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention and the effect of radial-to-femoral access crossover on adverse outcomes in similar procedures.

Al‐Hawwas has also conducted systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the cardiovascular and kidney outcomes associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, both in the general population and specifically in patients with acute heart failure and type 2 diabetes. His research further extends to evaluating endovascular device therapy for femoro-popliteal occlusive disease and the management of acute coronary syndrome in cancer patients.

His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 10, with 39 total publications and 501 total citations. Key collaborators include Barry F. Uretsky, Srikanth Vallurupalli, and Rimsha Hasan, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
