About
Jamshid Maddahi is a professor in the Pharmacology Department at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research program focuses on evaluating the clinical impact of noninvasive assessment of tissue perfusion and metabolism on the management of patients with cardiac and oncologic diseases. Specifically, he studies the value of myocardial perfusion imaging at rest and during pharmacologic stress for detection of coronary artery disease and prediction of risk for myocardial infarction or mortality. Additionally, his work involves assessing PET metabolic indices of myocardial viability in patients with poor ventricular function to aid in cost-effective treatment planning aimed at improving patient outcomes such as mortality and heart failure symptoms. In the field of oncology, his research explores the use of PET metabolic imaging for determining metastatic spread and its overall impact on patient management at a lower cost.
