Research
- Experiences in Minimally invasive Cardiac surgery combined with Hybrid PCI at the Toronto General Hospital, A case study to outline our clinical experiences with a cohort of 200 plus patients who have successfully undergone minimally invasive (off-pump) coronary artery bypass graft surgery, followed by complete revascularization via Hybrid PCI. This is aimed at changing modern practice in CV surgery and interventional cardiology by ultimately merging the two disciplines, incorporating the strengths, and minimizing the weaknesses of each modality in order to provide better patient care outcomes., Dr. Sanjog Kalra, Dr. Piroze Davierwala

Investigated the incidence of Cardio-vascular disease amongst Jamaican patients with autoimmune disorders, including valvular heart disease and coronary artery disease. Studied the potential predictive value of specific clinical manifestations, and specific laboratory investigations, in the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected autoimmune/collagen vascular disorders in Jamaica., pending, West Indian Medical Journal, UWI, Mona
