OverviewAI-generated summary

Khalid Sawalha's research focuses on cardiovascular and interventional cardiology outcomes, with a particular emphasis on patient demographics and specific procedural approaches. He has investigated the in-hospital outcomes of transcatheter versus surgical mitral valve repair in patients with chronic liver disease. Sawalha has also examined national trends in percutaneous mechanical support utilization during percutaneous coronary interventions for chronic total occlusions. His work includes studies on the relation of patients' opinions on alcohol's health effects to their drinking habits among hospitalized cardiovascular patients, as well as the frequency of hazardous and binge drinking in this population. Other research areas include cardiovascular predictors of intracerebral hematoma expansion and the safety and outcomes of pulsed field ablation for supraventricular arrhythmia. Sawalha's publications also touch on cardiology fellowship during the COVID-19 pandemic and coronary subclavian steal syndrome causing myocardial infarction.
