Vascular and Heart Disease Research
The Spirit of Innovation: Clinical Trials for Heart Disease at Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute
At Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute, innovation is our tradition. We offer the benefits of a patient-friendly community hospital with the cutting-edge research of a major academic medical center. Our heart disease research program gives our patients access to new technologies and treatments years before they reach the public. Most of our clinical trials for heart disease focus on less invasive tests for heart disease and treatments — restoring our patients’ health without traditional surgery. Learn about how the Institute’s pioneering research program has provided patients with a medical edge.

Patient Protection
At Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute, the safety of our patients comes first. The Baptist Health South Florida Institutional Review Board rigorously reviews all of our clinical trials for heart dieases. Our Institute has a dedicated research department that oversees the trials, coordinates the details and works directly with patients enrolled in studies. Our staff includes highly qualified registered nurses with specialized research training and a cardiovascular specialist. They work individually with patients to make sure they receive personal attention and the highest quality care.
