Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Susan S. Smyth's research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences investigates thrombotic risk and related biomarkers, particularly in the context of COVID-19. Her work has explored novel biomarkers for thrombotic risk in patients with COVID-19, contributing to consensus statements on the topic. She has also studied the role of extracellular histones in triggering disseminated intravascular coagulation and the impact of specific medications, such as ticagrelor and clopidogrel, on platelet aggregation in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Beyond thrombosis, Smyth's research has extended to the implementation of clinical practice guidelines, including syncope evaluation in emergency departments, and patient expectations for syncope management. Her work also touches on career development in translational science and the organizational aspects of menopause in the workplace. Smyth has a h-index of 20 and has authored 78 publications with over 1,700 citations, indicating a significant contribution to her fields of study. She has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Jerry Ware and Nishank Jain.
