Ahmad Al-Abdouh

Dr. Ahmad Al-Abdouh is an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Kentucky, affiliated with the Internal Medicine - Hospital Medicine division. His research focuses on cardiovascular disease epidemiology, interventional cardiology outcomes, and clinical decision-making in critical care settings. He has contributed to studies analyzing global cardiovascular burdens, transcatheter valve procedures, and maternal-fetal outcomes in autoimmune conditions.

Key research interests include:

• Cardiovascular disease trends in Latin America/Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa
• Meta-analyses of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes
• Beta-blocker efficacy in myocardial infarction patients
• Comparative effectiveness of drug-coated balloons in coronary interventions
• Stroke prevention during cardiac procedures

Recent publications highlight his work on arrhythmia mortality trends, cardiogenic shock management, and cerebral embolic protection in valve replacements. His studies often use large-scale databases to assess clinical practices and outcomes.

Dr. Al-Abdouh collaborates on projects analyzing procedural safety (e.g., TAVR vs surgical approaches), anticoagulant therapies in mechanical circulatory support, and maternal outcomes in connective tissue diseases. His work bridges epidemiological insights with clinical practice improvements.
