Jamshid Maddahi is a Professor in the Pharmacology Department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His research focuses on evaluating the clinical impact of noninvasive assessments of tissue perfusion and metabolism, specifically in managing patients with cardiac and oncologic diseases. His work is particularly aimed at patients suspected of having coronary artery disease where myocardial perfusion imaging during rest and pharmacologic stress is crucial for detecting disease and predicting the risk of myocardial infarction and mortality. Additionally, his research addresses patients with poor ventricular function through PET metabolic indices to assess myocardial viability, striving for cost-effective treatment plans that enhance patient outcomes, particularly in reducing mortality and alleviating heart failure symptoms. Maddahi also investigates the utility of PET metabolic imaging in oncology settings to determine metastatic spread and its overall impact on improving patient management at lower costs.
