About Ottawa Cardiovascular Centre

The Ottawa Cardiovascular Centre (OCC) offers comprehensive cardiovascular care to a registered patient population of over 230,000 patients with approximately 40,000 active patients. Originally founded in 1987 by Drs. Joel Niznick and Brendan Quinn, OCC has grown to an 10 cardiologist group. As well OCC has integrated a Pediatric Cardiologist, 5 Internists and 1 Endocrinologist into the practice to deal with the broader aspects of cardiovascular risk reduction. We provide cardiology consultation, cardiovascular risk assessment, long term cardiovascular followup and on site cardiovascular non-invasive testing at two sites. Our catchment area extends from Alexandria to Deep River and the Quebec border to the St Lawrence River. Annually we provide upward of 25,000 patient interactions within the broad spectrum of cardiovascular disease. Dr Seshadri graduated medical school from Queen’s University in 1999.
