Personal profile
Research Interests
Dr. Ahmad is a practicing heart failure cardiologist who cares for patients across the spectrum of heart failure, including patients with different types of cardiomyopathies, with advanced heart failure, and those who have undergone heart transplantation or mechanical assist device support (LVAD). He has a particular clinical interest in the diagnosis and management of patients with different types of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, such as cardiac amyloidosis.
Dr. Ahmad’s research interests are in the application of data science, machine learning, and digital health technologies to improve quality of care and patient-centered outcomes for patients with heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. His research program includes the development, implementation, and scaling of digital health solutions to enable learning health systems for continuous quality improvement and pragmatic research studies. His work has received support from multiple organizations, including the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, the Heart Failure Society of America, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
