Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Arif ur-Rehman Khan"

  • - Arif ur-Rehman Khan's research primarily focuses on cardiovascular surgery, particularly in the context of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and congenital heart defect repairs, assessing outcomes and complications associated with these procedures
  • - He has investigated cognitive decline post-CABG, aiming to identify its frequency and predictors in patients undergoing their first surgery, highlighting the need for preoperative assessments in this population
  • - Additionally, Khan has compared surgical techniques for ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure in tetralogy of Fallot, as well as studied the early effects of CABG on left ventricular function, providing valuable insights into postoperative recovery and management strategies
