Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Heart failure
  • Surgery

Internal medicine, Heart failure, Cardiology, Hazard ratio and Confidence interval are his primary areas of study. His Internal medicine study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Surgery. His work carried out in the field of Heart failure brings together such families of science as Epidemiology, Proportional hazards model, Diastole and Propensity score matching.

His Proportional hazards model study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mortality rate and Increased risk. While the research belongs to areas of Cardiology, Ali Ahmed spends his time largely on the problem of Severity of illness, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cause of death. His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Survival rate, Case-control study, Ambulatory and Cohort in his study of Hazard ratio.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of Digoxin on Morbidity and Mortality in Diastolic Heart Failure The Ancillary Digitalis Investigation Group Trial (465 citations)
  • Heart failure, chronic diuretic use, and increase in mortality and hospitalization: an observational study using propensity score methods (346 citations)
  • Digoxin and Reduction in Mortality and Hospitalization in Heart Failure: A Comprehensive Post-Hoc Analysis of the DIG Trial (308 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Heart failure, Cardiology, Hazard ratio and Confidence interval. His study in the field of Proportional hazards model, Cohort, Digoxin and Blood pressure is also linked to topics like In patient. His Heart failure research is mostly focused on the topic Ejection fraction.

Ali Ahmed interconnects Kidney disease and Diastole in the investigation of issues within Cardiology. His Hazard ratio research integrates issues from Prospective cohort study, Surgery, Cohort study, Lower risk and Risk factor. Ali Ahmed works mostly in the field of Confidence interval, limiting it down to topics relating to Incidence and, in certain cases, Epidemiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (122.95%)
  • Heart failure (119.15%)
  • Cardiology (88.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (122.95%)
  • Heart failure (119.15%)
  • Cardiology (88.74%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Heart failure, Cardiology, Hazard ratio and Ejection fraction. His research in Internal medicine tackles topics such as Gastroenterology which are related to areas like Sudden death. His work in Heart failure tackles topics such as Older patients which are related to areas like Risk of mortality.

His work deals with themes such as Medical prescription, Randomized controlled trial and Hospitalized patients, which intersect with Cardiology. His Hazard ratio study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Incidence and Risk factor. His Ejection fraction research incorporates themes from Heart rate, Intensive care medicine and Renal function.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Systolic Blood Pressure and Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction. (32 citations)
  • Systolic Blood Pressure and Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction. (32 citations)
  • Systolic Blood Pressure and Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction. (32 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Heart failure

Ali Ahmed spends much of his time researching Heart failure, Internal medicine, Hazard ratio, Ejection fraction and Cardiology. His Heart failure research includes themes of Lower risk, Clinical trial, Propensity score matching and Emergency medicine. As part of the same scientific family, Ali Ahmed usually focuses on Propensity score matching, concentrating on Ambulatory and intersecting with Discontinuation.

His Hazard ratio research entails a greater understanding of Confidence interval. Ali Ahmed has researched Ejection fraction in several fields, including Digoxin, Intensive care medicine, Blood pressure and Renal function. His research investigates the connection with Cardiology and areas like Older patients which intersect with concerns in Loop diuretic.
