Adult Congenital Heart Disease


The Université de Montréal's Adult Congenital Heart Centre is located at the Montreal Heart Institute. More than 1,900 adults with a congenital heart disease are followed at the Centre. The team at the centre includes three cardiologist-echocardiographers with one having full training in MRI, two cardiologists specialized in interventional cardiology, one cardiologist-electrophysiologist, one pediatric cardiologist, one cardiac surgeon, one nurse clinician, one research nurse, one secretary and various consultants in related fields.

The Adult Congenital Heart Centre offers two types of one-year fellowship ( clinical with echocardiography option or clinical with interventional cardiology option) to cardiologists from Quebec, Canada and abroad who wish to develop an expertise in this field. F ellows are fully integrated into the service's activities. They are also expected to be available for on-call duty in general cardiology at the hospital.

To obtain funding, candidates are advised to apply for grants from recognized agencies. The department of medicine at the MHI offers scholarships; however, a limited number of scholarships are available and they are awarded on a competitive basis.
