    AbstractThe Quebec Heart Institute was established in 1957 at the Laval Hospital in Sainte-Foy, Quebec. Since then, clinical and research activities have made this Institute one of the largest tertiary care cardiology centres in Canada. With its vast catchment area of more than 3,000,000 people, the Institute has developed a strong collaboration with referral physicians centred on clinical, teaching and research interests. The Institute pioneered several aspects of cardiac surgery, invasive cardiology, echocardiography, basic research and, more recently, a network of researchers and clinicians working in the field of 'metabolic cardiology'. The first 50 years of the Quebec Heart Institute are depicted in this overview, which will also introduce this special supplement to The Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
