Mohamad H. Yamani

Mohamad H. Yamani, M.D., is a Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic Florida where he serves as Chair of the Heart Failure Division and Director of the Inpatient Service in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. A leading heart failure cardiologist, he directs the Heart Failure Clinic and specializes in transplantation and mechanical circulatory support.

His educational background includes:

• Medical Degree: American University of Beirut (1981)
• Residencies: St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center (Columbia University), University of Hawaii, California Pacific Medical Center
• Fellowships: University of California San Francisco, University of Michigan (Cardiology, 1998), Cleveland Clinic Foundation (Heart Failure/Transplantation, 1999)

Dr. Yamani's research centers on translational cardiovascular science with focus on molecular mechanisms in heart failure and transplantation. His work has investigated alpha-3/beta-3 integrins, angiotensin receptors, and tissue factor systems, leading to the discovery of a novel protein in heart transplants. Current genomic studies aim to personalize heart failure therapy by explaining differential treatment responses.

His scientific recognition includes:

• 2018 International ACC Award-winning abstract on pulmonary hypertension
• 2015 Gold Mayo Quality Award
• 2005 Cleveland Clinic Innovation Award
• Multiple Transplant Research Awards (2001-2003)
• 1996 Dwight L. Wilbur, M.D. Award

Dr. Yamani mentors numerous residents and fellows while leading clinical trials as principal investigator. His 80+ peer-reviewed publications bridge clinical practice and basic science through translational research. As director of the Heart Failure Clinic, he focuses on world-class patient care while advancing genomic approaches to optimize treatment selection and avoid unnecessary procedures.
