He has also published a systematic review and meta-analysis of coronary stent infections in Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine, a paper in Circulation arguing for the reclassification of infarctions, and a study of long-term oral anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation in low and middle income countries in the Indian Heart Journal.
