Amavita Research — North Miami Beach

About this site

Amavita Research is the clinical research division embedded inside amavita Heart and Vascular Health®, a full-service private cardiology practice in North Miami Beach, FL. The trial site shares physical space, staff, and infrastructure with the cardiology clinic — meaning trial-eligible patients are screened by the same physicians who provide their routine cardiology care, and procedural resources (cath-lab, echo, IV infusion, ABPM) are immediately accessible.

The site has run cardiovascular trials across hypertension, heart failure, ACS, PAD, and other indications. The Principal Investigator team includes Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, MD, FACC; Dr. Hans C. Rutzen-Lopez, MD; and consultative input from Dr. William W. O'Neill, MD, FACC.

Patient catchment

The North Miami Beach site serves patients across northern Miami-Dade County and southern Broward County, including residents of North Miami Beach, North Miami, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Miami Gardens, Miramar, and surrounding ZIP codes (33160, 33169, 33180, 33162, 33168, 33179, 33181). Patients regularly travel from Miami, Doral, Coral Gables, and Hialeah for cardiology and trial-related visits. Patients further south in Miami-Dade or in Broward should call ahead — we can coordinate visit timing and confirm accessibility before scheduling.
