The Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) is the leading specialized cardiology hospital in Canada and one of the largest cardiology institutes in the world. Its internationally recognized Research Centre was the first one entirely dedicated to cardiovascular disease and to this day remains one of the world’s best cardiology research facilities. The MHI also has the largest centre for preventive medicine in Quebec and is home to Canada's very first educational centre on cardiovascular diseases. It provides quality care that rivals other world-class centres, such as the Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo Clinic in the United States and the Thoraxcenter in the Netherlands. Our team includes 546 nurses 248 doctors, including: 58 cardiologists 13 cardiovascular surgeons 12 anesthesiologists 82 researchers who specialize in clinical, basic and applied research Over 700 students per year who work in 8 specialties The Montreal Heart Institute has continually made a mark on the international scene with world firsts : Intramyocardial implantation of the internal mammary artery, which preceded the development of aortocoronary bypasses, in 1955. Selective femoral coronography, in 1964. Paper published describing blockages that occur in grafts after an aortocoronary bypass, which helped to modify heart surgery techniques throughout the world, from 1972-1974. Radial approach for selective coronary angiography, in 1979. Percutaneous laser coronary dilatation, in 1987. Cryoablation (extreme cold to ablate tissue) to treat arrhythmia, 1999. In collaboration with the CHU Sainte-Justine, a heart catheterization procedure using the new CROSSER™ technology on a child with a completely blocked heart artery, in 2006.
