Dr. Jean-François Tanguay Bio

After earning his degree in medicine from Université de Montréal, Dr. Jean-François Tanguay went on to specialize in internal medicine and cardiologist. He then trained in interventional cardiology and research at the Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) and Duke University. During his post-doctoral training funded by the Association des cardiologues du Québec (ACQ) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS), his work paved the way to the development of the first fully bioabsorbable drug eluting coronary stent. In hemodynamics, he successfully implanted the first bioresorbable stent in North America in a patient treated at the MHI. He continued his research projects with the investigation of methods and treatments to promote vascular healing and reduce thrombo-inflammatory phenomena after percutaneous revascularization and acute coronary syndrome. A member of the Hemodynamics Service and the Department of Medicine at the MHI, he directs the Coronary Care Unit with a team of cardiologists with expertise in acute coronary artery disease, cardiac imaging and interventional cardiology. Full professor in the Department of Medicine at Université de Montréal, Dr. Tanguay also directs the university training program in interventional cardiology and the MD-research program at this Institution’s Faculty of Medicine. He has authored or co-authored over 350 scientific publications, abstracts and book chapters in addition to serving as President of the Canadian Association of Interventional Cardiology (CAIC) from 2002 to 2005 and being Chair of the Committee for the Antiplatelet Therapy Guidelines of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. These guidelines were published in 2011 and updated in 2013 in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.

A local cardiologist can also work with your other healthcare providers, from your local registered dietitian to your local Pilates instructor.Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat, also called an arrhythmia, that can increase your risk of heart failure, stroke, blood clots and other heart conditions. A normal heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat, but if you have atrial fibrillation, the atria (upper chambers) beat out of sync with the ventricles (lower chambers).

During a coronary angioplasty, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery, typically in the groin or wrist, and guided to the blocked or narrowed coronary artery. The catheter is equipped with a deflated balloon at its tip. Once the catheter reaches the target area, the balloon is inflated, which compresses the plaque against the artery walls and widens the artery, restoring blood flow.

In many cases, the angioplasty procedure is followed by the placement of a stent. A stent is a small, mesh-like metal tube that is inserted into the artery  of the heart after the balloon is inflated. The stent helps to keep the artery open and prevents it from re-narrowing. There are two main types of stents: bare-metal stents and drug-eluting stents. Drug-eluting stents are coated with medications that help reduce the risk of the artery re-narrowing.

Coronary angioplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia, and the patient is awake during the procedure. It is considered a minimally invasive procedure and has become a common treatment option for coronary artery disease. It can relieve symptoms such as chest pain (angina) and improve blood flow to the heart, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks and other complications associated with CAD.
