Research summary
AI-generated

Sakima A. Smith's research centers on advanced heart failure care, particularly outcomes and complications in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs, mechanical pumps that help a weakened heart circulate blood) and heart transplantation. Work also spans cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), the cardiac side effects of cancer treatments, and using machine learning to predict complications like right ventricular failure and dangerous heart rhythms from clinical and electronic health record data. This research is clinically oriented, often involving multi-institutional patient cohorts and outcome prediction models.
