A timeline of the Ottawa Heart Institute:
1976: The University of Ottawa Heart Institute opens.
1981: First angioplasty is performed. The procedure, using a collapsed surgical balloon, clears blood vessels to restore blood flow to the heart.
1984: Jean-Guy Villeneuve becomes the heart institute’s first heart transplant patient. He received a second heart transplant, the heart institute’s 154th transplant, in 1992 after his donated heart developed hardened arteries. Villeneuve died in 2007 at the age of 65.
1986: Noella Leclair makes Canadian medical history. After four heart attacks in three days, the 41-year-old Orléans woman faced certain death until physicians proposed using a Jarvik 7-70 artificial heart until a donor heart became available. Seven days later, Leclair had a transplant that added 20 years to her life.
1989: Wesley Behm, an 11-day-old boy, becomes Canada’s first heart transplant baby.
2002: The Heart Institute opens Canada’s first Positron Emission Tomography (PET) centre.
2005: The heart institute’s STEMI program demonstrates a four-fold reduction in mortality rates among high-risk heart attack patients. The program allows paramedics to assess patients using portable ECG machines. Those having a STEMI — the kind of heart attack that does irreparable damage to heart muscles — are rushed to the heart institute.
2007: Based on a study of hundreds of Ottawa patients suffering from premature heart disease, researchers identify a DNA sequence that indicates a 40 per cent increase in susceptibility.
2011: The heart institute develops the world’s first quick and accurate bedside genetic test, delivering results in minutes based on a swab of the patient’s mouth.
2012: Surgical teams perform the heart institute’s 498th, 499th and 500th heart transplants within 24 hours.
2o13: The Heart Institute acquires a cardiac MRI.
2015: The Canadian Women’s Heart Institute opens.
