Davies, Ross A. (retired)

Ross Davies, MD, is a cardiologist in the Division of Cardiology at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and a professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa. He retired from clinics in 2020 but continues to perform e-consults.

Background

He received his Bachelor of Science degree from McGill University in 1970 and his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Toronto in 1974. He trained in medicine and cardiology at the Toronto General Hospital and St. Michael’s Hospital. He was certified as a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in both specialties in 1978. He worked as a research fellow at Yale University and became a fellow of the American College of Cardiology in 1980. In 2002, he obtained certification from the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology.

Dr. Davies initiated the Nuclear Cardiology Program at the Heart Institute in 1980 and was its director until 1998. He served as medical director of the Heart Transplant Program from 1984 to 2003. He was president of the medical and scientific staff from 2001 to 2009 and managing partner from 2006 to 2010. Dr. Davies directed the Cardiology Referral Clinic from 2010 to 2019. As president of Patient Database Management Systems Inc., he provided free clinical records for cardiology, which he turned over to The Ottawa Hospital in 2019. He was head of continuing medical education from 2013 to 2020 and received an award for excellence twice. In research, he was an investigator or co-investigator in 82 peer-reviewed grants, and an author or co-author in 209 peer-reviewed manuscripts. 

His career highlight was his work with the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS). From 2006 to 2010, he was a member at large and then served as secretary from 2010 to 2015. He helped develop the fellow of the CCS designation and was honoured as the inaugural recipient in 2015. He served as president of the Canadian Nuclear Cardiology Society from 2012 to 2014, and then founded and led the Canadian Society of Cardiovascular Nuclear and CT Imaging from 2014 to 2016. In 2019, he received the Michael Freeman Nuclear Cardiology and CT Annual Achievement Award. Recently, he co-chaired the 2023 Canadian Cardiovascular Society clinical practice update on management of the patient with a prolonged QT interval.

Research and clinical interests

Dr. Davies’ clinical interests include heart failure and transplantation, nuclear cardiology and PET imaging. His research focuses on cardiovascular databases.
