Clinical Trials
Advancing care through clinical trials
We participated in over 30 clinical trials in 2024, spanning from novel drugs through advanced devices for the treatment of heart failure, valvular heart disease and arrhythmias. Our investigators performed several first-in-human procedures that sought to offer better treatment options for patients with heart disease.

Growing our footprint with new state-of-the-art facilities
We expanded our footprint, opening Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care—Westchester and new outpatient clinics at White Plains Hospital, Wakefield Campus and Montefiore Einstein Heart Failure Center at Nyack Hospital. We are also finalizing plans for a comprehensive heart failure initiative, which will include specialty clinics for amyloid, sarcoid, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension, cardiac intensive care consultations at Nyack Hospital and a new catheterization laboratory. We have expanded the Montefiore Einstein Structural Heart Program to White Plains Hospital. These initiatives mark a major step toward advancing Montefiore Einstein's footprint and heart failure expertise in New York’s Hudson Valley region.
