The University of Ottawa Heart Institute’s Cardiac Imaging Department successfully completed an accreditation audit from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). The IAC programs for accreditation are dedicated to ensuring quality patient care and promoting healthcare, and they support one...
The Cardiac Imaging Resources Core Lab (CIRCL) was established in conjunction with the Canadian Atherosclerosis Imaging Network (CAIN), supported by Canada Foundation for Innovation and Canadian Institutes of Health Research funding support. The core boasts state-of-the-art multimodality clinical and preclinical image analysis tools and data transfer infrastructure.

Upon check-in, you will be given a screening form asking you about anything that might create a health risk or interfere with imaging. An MRI technologist will review this form with you prior to starting the test. You will not be able to wear anything metallic or bring any metallic objects into the...
Neuromuscular disorders represent a heterogeneous group of genetic abnormalities affecting the normal function of nerve and muscle. The age of onset is variable and clinical presentations depend on the type of condition. Symptoms can include muscle pain, weakness, and spasms. Some conditions can...
Join us for this educational day that explores key aspects of cardiac anatomy, physiology, physical assessment, diagnostic procedures, and interventions.
In this series we will cover various aspects of a patient's journey at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI), including pre-admission requirements, unexpected complications and discharge considerations.
We will review the pathophysiology, the diagnosis, and the treatments for a patient with heart failure. We will also review the management of advanced heart failure.
The goal of our research is to develop, advance and evaluate new and established imaging methods that will enable early, accurate, less invasive and cost-effective diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in order to optimize management for improved patient care and outcomes. The Molecular Function and...
Cardiac rehabilitation, a comprehensive program to get patients healthy again after heart attack, cardiac surgery or other cardiac events, has been shown to save lives. But what if patients waiting for non-emergency heart surgery could start improving their health before their procedure? Could that...
Prevention and Rehabilitation provides state-of-the-art approaches to the prevention of cardiac disease: preventing patients from having additional cardiac events and helping patients return to their lives following cardiac events and procedures.

When you enter the rehabilitation area of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, it looks very much like a gym—treadmills, stationary bikes and elliptical trainers, all surrounded by a four-lane track. So you might think rehabilitation is all about physical fitness, but there’s much more to it...
The Cardiac Rehabilitation: Physical Activity guide can help you assume responsibility for your own care and get back to your daily routine as soon as possible, increase your physical fitness and endurance, change the behaviours that put you at risk for heart disease, slow down the progression of your cardiovascular disease and, in some cases, reverse the buildup of blockages already present in your arteries, reduce your risk for heart attacks, strokes, and the need for heart surgery or procedures, help to reduce symptoms, including angina and shortness of breath if you are still experiencing these and add years to your life and life to your years.
It’s been shown to lower death rates from heart disease and even from other causes after the onset of cardiovascular disease, and it helps patients achieve a better quality of life. In fact, cardiac rehabilitation is a key “next step” in the recovery process following a heart attack or procedures...
