Research & Clinical Interests
Dr. Amanullah’s research areas include noninvasive stress imaging modalities for the diagnosis and the prognosis of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. By factoring multiple variables for each patient, he developed statistical models that would predict the likelihood of severe cardiac events in a wide spectrum of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease.
Other research areas include the incremental prognostic value of myocardial perfusion SPECT in women, the very elderly, and patients with diabetes mellitus. Dr. Amanullah’s areas of research also include multimodality imaging in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), frailty status and survival after TAVR and surgical AVR. Dr. Amanullah is also working, using NIS (National Inpatient Sample) database the impact of COVID-19 on hospitalization outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction in the USA as well as impact of comorbid heart failure among hospitalized patients with sarcoidosis.
