Biosketch
Dr. Haytham Allaham is a distinguished cardiologist who graduated from the University of Jordan Medical School in 2014. He pursued a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in cardiovascular medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard University, where he was mentored by Dr. Michael Gibson and recognized as an Outstanding Post-doctoral Research Fellow at the PERFUSE Study Group. Following his research, Dr. Allaham completed his Internal Medicine Residency at the University of Missouri Medical Center, where he earned the Outstanding Medical Student Teaching Award. He then undertook a General Cardiology Fellowship at the University of Maryland Medical Center, followed by an Advanced Interventional and Structural Cardiology Fellowship at the same institution. In his advanced fellowship, he specialized in complex coronary artery interventions, mechanical hemodynamic support, and percutaneous transcatheter valve interventions, including transcatheter aortic valve replacement, MitraClip, and transcatheter mitral valve replacement. Dr. Allaham’s career is marked by significant contributions to advanced cardiology practices and impactful research in cardiovascular medicine.
Dr. Allaham is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. His specialization is further validated by certifications from the American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine and the American Board of Interventional Cardiovascular Medicine, highlighting his advanced proficiency in diagnosing and treating complex cardiovascular conditions. Additionally, his certification from the American National Board of Echocardiography reflects his expertise in performing and interpreting echocardiograms, crucial for accurate cardiac assessments. These certifications collectively underscore Dr. Allaham’s exceptional qualifications and commitment to providing comprehensive, cutting-edge care in the field of cardiology.
Research/Clinical Keywords
Dr. Allaham research interest focuses on the challenges and advancements in managing valve heart disease patients undergoing complex coronary interventions, particularly in cases of double valve disease and intricate percutaneous procedures. This area of study is critical as it addresses the complexities involved in treating patients with dual valve conditions, where traditional surgical options may present significant risks or limited effectiveness. His work aims to explore and enhance percutaneous techniques, such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and mitral valve repair/replacement, to improve patient outcomes and procedural safety. By investigating novel approaches, optimizing patient selection criteria, and advancing imaging and device technologies, he seek to refine these interventions and ensure they offer long-term benefits for patients with complex coronary and valve disease.
