The goals of the Atherogenomics Laboratory are to develop a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the genetic and molecular etiology of complex phenotypes, with a focus on coronary artery disease (CAD) and obesity.
The Behavioural Research Group focuses on three main themes: developing and implementing systematic approaches to smoking cessation in clinical practice settings; promoting exercise and physical activity in patients with heart disease; and examining the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of different...
The Bio-nanomaterials Chemistry and Engineering Laboratory (BnCE), under the direction of Emilio I. Alarcon, PhD, is located in the Research Centre of University of Ottawa Heart Institute. It is affiliated with the Biomaterials and Regenerative Research Program in the Division of Cardiac Surgery...
Research continues to play an important part of the mission of the Division of Cardiac Anesthesiology as we continually strive to improve patient care. Research focuses on predicting perioperative risk, characterization of patient outcomes and tailoring patient care towards prevention of adverse...
Our research program is very patient focused. In general we have two criteria when considering starting a new project. Firstly, is there an important clinical research question to be answered? Secondly, does our group have the necessary experience, skills, resources and collaborations to be able to...
Heart failure is the new epidemic in chronic cardiovascular disease. It will affect one in five Canadians over their lifetime. The one-year mortality of heart failure is at 34%. Our research is focused on the causes and treatment of heart failure from bench to bedside. With support from CIHR, Genome...
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...
The focus of our lab is to translate fundamental biological principles to the clinical setting. We are positioned within the Cardiology research program with projects addressing cardiac arrhythmias and regenerative medicine. Specific questions under investigation include the following: Can we devise...
