Heart Disease & Weight research studies are looking for volunteers in Florida, with study locations in Doral.
Body weight after a heart attack, a stroke or narrowed leg arteries matters even more for the heart. Research in this area follows weight and heart health together over time. Register your interest to hear what is open nearby.
For people who have already had a heart attack, a stroke or poor blood flow to the legs, body weight can add strain on the heart and blood vessels. Research in this area looks at weight and heart health together, and studies medicines that work differently from the ones already available, alongside a person's usual heart care.
Taking part usually means a first visit, regular check-ins over a long period, weight and blood pressure checks and routine lab work. A person's own cardiologist and doctor stay in charge of their care.
An independent review board approves every program in this area before it opens. Register your interest here and the clinical team will call to explain what is open nearby.

The BonfireFrequently asked questions
Will I have to stop my heart medicines?
No medicine is changed before a full conversation, and the person's own cardiologist stays part of every decision.
Is this a weight-loss program?
It is research that follows weight and heart health together. The clinical team explains what a program involves before anyone decides.
How long do programs in this area last?
Often a long time, because heart health is followed over years, not weeks. The clinical team shares the schedule up front.
Can I keep seeing my cardiologist?
Yes. Regular care continues, and the team can keep a person's doctors informed when asked.
Is there compensation for taking part?
Compensation may be available for your time and inconvenience.
