TL;DR: The Canadian Cardiovascular Society is implementing the Canadian Heart Health Strategy and Action Plan recommendation to build knowledge infrastructure, through its Data Definitions and Quality Indicator (QI) project, and selected cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention as a content area for QI development.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that UCB‐mediated apoptosis in Hepa 1c1c7 cells is associated with increased oxidative stress and that caspase‐9, and definitely not caspasing‐2, is the initiator caspases for apoptosisin UCB-treated Hepa1c 7 cells.

TL;DR: These challenges are summarized and cardiologists are encouraged to join the call to arms for improving quality of TAVI care in Canada.

TL;DR: The group developed consensus agreements for the selection of the first iteration of measurable structure, process, and outcome indicators reflective of the quality of care for patients undergoing TAVI.

TL;DR: It is predicted that across five regions of Ontario, there may be insufficient resources to resume all elective outpatient cardiac procedures, and it is shown that the estimated incremental growth in waitlist for all cardiac procedures is likely substantial.
