Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mustafa Zakkar"
- Mustafa Zakkar's recent research has significantly focused on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), particularly examining the long saphenous vein's response to arterial hemodynamics, and the mechanisms contributing to vein graft disease, including inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
- He has also studied the assessment tools for health-related quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation, exploring the validity of the EQ-5D in conflict-affected populations, specifically in Syria, to better understand cardiology outcomes in challenging environments.
- Additionally, Zakkar's investigations include evaluating the effects of surgical techniques, including the use of corticosteroids during cardiopulmonary bypass and the implications of patient-prosthesis mismatch in aortic valve replacements, highlighting the importance of tailored surgical interventions and their impact on patient outcomes.
