OverviewAI-generated summary

Malek Alaiwah's research focuses on cardiovascular diseases, particularly in symptomatic women and patients with suspected coronary artery disease. His work investigates major adverse cardiac events in women with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) as assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA), drawing from pooled analyses of trials like PROMISE and SCOT-HEART. Alaiwah also examines the significance of indeterminate or abnormal stress electrocardiography findings in patients with suspected CAD, even when cardiac imaging is normal, as analyzed from the PROMISE trial. His recent publications explore the safety and efficacy of anticoagulants such as enoxaparin during elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and discuss modern approaches to PCI, including drug-coated balloons and metal-sparing strategies.

Further research interests include the utility of dobutamine stress echocardiography, specifically the implications of hypertensive response and ischemic electrocardiogram changes on heart failure risk and imaging interpretation. Alaiwah has also contributed to case series on percutaneous pericardiocentesis and comparative analyses of left ventricular unloading devices in cardiogenic shock patients on VA-ECMO. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Omar Alqaisi, Landon Bruich, Munthir Mansour, and Munes Albadaineh.
