Impact of Wire Sensor Location on Coronary Physiological Measurement (Amir Lotfi, Ali Haider, Abdullah Pervaiz, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2022)

Background: The location of the wire sensor to measure fractional flow reserve (FFR) and diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) has not been systematically studied. Therefore, we hypothesize that the coronary physiological measurements will vary with the ...

Impact of left ventricular ejection fraction on outcomes after left main revascularization: g-LM Registry (Maryam Naser, Mina Iskandar and Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2022)

Aims: The impact of left ventricular dysfunction on clinical outcomes following revascularization is not well established in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCA). In this study, we evaluated the impact of left ...

Unprotected Left Main Revascularization in the Setting of Non-Coronary Atherosclerosis: Gulf Left Main Registry (Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2022)

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in revascularization of left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease has been evaluated in previous studies. However, there has been minimal study of the relationship ...

One Versus Two Stents Strategies for Unprotected Left Main Intervention: Gulf Left Main Registry (Maryam Naser and Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2022)

The optimal stenting strategy for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease remains debated. This retrospective observational study (Gulf Left Main Registry) analyzed the outcomes of 1 vs 2 stents in patients with unprotected left ...

Beyond magic: How to differentiate the acute presentations of aortic stenosis and myocardial infarction? (Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2022)

Severe Aortic Stenosis; More Than an Imaging Diagnosis (Marc Schweiger, Kunal Chawla and Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2021)

The definition of severe aortic stenosis has undergone significant change casting a wider net to avoid missing patients who could benefit from valve replacement. The presence or absence of symptoms remains the key decision-making element, ...

nPercutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Disease: G-LM Registry (Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2021)

Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) has been the standard of care for revascularization for patients with obstructive unprotected left main coronary disease (ULMCA). There have been multiple randomized and registry data demonstrating the technical and ...

Evidence-Based Approach to Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2021)

Purpose of review: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death. Despite improvements in the cardiac disease management, OHCA outcomes remain poor. The purpose of this review is to provide information on the ...

Coronary subclavian steal syndrome causing myocardial Infarction (Paurush Ambesh, Khalid Sawalha, Kevin Groudan, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2021)

Coronary subclavian steal syndrome (CSSS) is a rare complication of the internal mammary artery (IMA) grafting in coronary artery bypass surgery. The technical definition is myocardial ischemia due to the reduced flow of blood, or ...

Concurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and takotsubo cardiomyopathy: Assessment and management (Mohammed Abozenah, Anis Kadado, Khalid Sawalha, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2020)

The prevalence of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) has been on the rise, but co-occurrence with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) remains rare. Although presenting patient demographics were similar to those in TCM, the potential for hemodynamic compromise was ...

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in the Gulf: G-SCAD Registry (Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2020)

Data on spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is based on European and North American registries. We assessed the prevalence, epidemiology, and outcomes of patients presenting with SCAD in Arab Gulf countries. Patients (n = 83) ...

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Does Being Unemployed Matter? Insights from the GSCAD registry (Vikram Grewal and Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2020)

Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has emerged as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and sudden cardiac death. Physical or emotional stressors are the most commonly reported triggers for SCAD. Unemployment has ...

Clinical Presentation and Outcome of Patients with Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Versus Atherosclerotic Coronary Plaque Dissection (Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2020)

Background: Atherosclerotic coronary plaque dissection (ACPD) is one cause of acute coronary syndrome caused by underlying atherosclerosis. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) occurs outside the setting of atherosclerosis among young women and individuals with few ...

One-year Outcomes of Supersaturated Oxygen Therapy in Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction: The IC-HOT Study (Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2020)

Background: Supersaturated oxygen (SSO2 ) has recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for administration after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) based on ...

Distal versus conventional transradial artery access for coronary angiography and intervention: A meta-analysis (Amir Lotfi) All Scholarly Works (2020)

BACKGROUND: Distal transradial artery access (dTRA) through the anatomical snuffbox is a novel approach for performing coronary angiography and interventions. However, the safety and efficacy of dTRA as compared to conventional TRA (cTRA) remains unknown. ...
