Our Ambulatory Cardiac Care Clinic offers a wide range of services, with annual patient visits exceeding 25,000. The Clinic is supported by an interdisciplinary team that includes Cardiologists, Echo sonographers, cardiology technologists, registered nurses, and clerical associates, to provide a range of services from prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart disease in both adult and paediatric populations.

We have an on-site Pacemaker Implantation Program that works collaboratively with our Interventional Radiology Suite. The Program is equipped to handle complicated pacemaker implant cases, including leadless implants and cases involving the left bundle area.

We also have on-site support from a paediatric cardiologist. A busy outpatient pacemaker / device clinic supports the implant program.

We work with Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre to provide services for implantation of defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapies.

Our cardiac Cath lab services are also currently coordinated with Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
