Salim Yusuf est un cardiologue et un \u00e9pid\u00e9miologiste reconnu internationalement. Titulaire de la Chaire de recherche Marion-W.-Burke sur les maladies cardiovasculaires de la Fondation des maladies du c\u0153ur et professeur distingu\u00e9 en m\u00e9decine \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 McMaster et \u00e0 l\u2019Hamilton Health Sciences, il est sans aucun doute le chercheur du domaine cardiovasculaire le plus productif et influent du Canada. Il est aussi l\u2019un des chercheurs du domaine m\u00e9dical les plus accomplis \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle mondiale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durant ses quarante ans de carri\u00e8re, Salim Yusuf a eu une influence consid\u00e9rable sur la pr\u00e9vention et le traitement des maladies cardiovasculaires. Ses travaux ont touch\u00e9 des dizaines de millions de personnes partout dans le monde. Boursier Rhodes et dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 du St. John\u2019s Medical College de Bangalore, en Inde, il a obtenu un doctorat de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Oxford, o\u00f9 il a men\u00e9 des recherches aux r\u00e9sultats novateurs, hautement productifs et annonciateurs de son instinct scientifique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les travaux r\u00e9alis\u00e9s durant et apr\u00e8s le doctorat du Dr<\/sup> Yusuf l\u2019ont men\u00e9 vers des d\u00e9couvertes qui ont permis de r\u00e9duire la mortalit\u00e9 chez les personnes victimes d\u2019un infarctus aigu du myocarde. Il a notamment d\u00e9couvert que les b\u00eatabloquants, l\u2019aspirine, les traitements thrombotiques, des antithrombotiques et des inhibiteurs de l\u2019ECA r\u00e9duisaient la mortalit\u00e9 chez certains patients atteints de cardiopathies, et que leur utilisation combin\u00e9e r\u00e9duisait de plus de moiti\u00e9 les d\u00e9c\u00e8s. Il a aussi propos\u00e9 de combiner des traitements pharmacologiques pour pr\u00e9venir les maladies cardiovasculaires, une approche maintenant appel\u00e9e \u00ab polypill \u00bb. Avec une s\u00e9rie d\u2019\u00e9tudes \u00e9chelonn\u00e9es sur deux d\u00e9cennies, il a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que cette approche r\u00e9duisait de plus de 50 % les infarctus du myocarde, les ACV et les d\u00e9c\u00e8s en d\u00e9coulant chez les personnes n\u2019ayant aucune cardiopathie connue. Salim Yusuf et ses coll\u00e8gues d\u2019Oxford ont d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 les concepts et les m\u00e9thodes derri\u00e8re l\u2019ex\u00e9cution d\u2019essais et de m\u00e9ta-analyses \u00e0 la fois vastes et simples. Ces innovations ont chang\u00e9 la mani\u00e8re dont les expertes et experts \u00e9valuent les interventions dans diverses disciplines, transform\u00e9 les domaines de l\u2019\u00e9pid\u00e9miologie et des essais cliniques, et jet\u00e9 les bases d\u2019une m\u00e9decine fond\u00e9e sur des donn\u00e9es probantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aujourd\u2019hui, le Dr<\/sup> Yusuf m\u00e8ne des \u00e9tudes dans plus de 60 pays r\u00e9partis sur tous les continents habit\u00e9s. Si on le conna\u00eet peut-\u00eatre davantage pour des programmes comme INTERHEART, INTERSTROKE et PURE, l\u2019ensemble de son \u0153uvre a consid\u00e9rablement am\u00e9lior\u00e9 le savoir de la communaut\u00e9 m\u00e9dicale sur les causes biologiques, comportementales et soci\u00e9tales des cardiopathies et des ACV, et sur les approches permettant de les contr\u00f4ler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salim Yusuf a re\u00e7u des distinctions prestigieuses de pratiquement toutes les grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s de cardiologie du monde. Il est titulaire de quatre doctorats honorifiques, a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 comme Officier de l\u2019Ordre du Canada, a \u00e9t\u00e9 re\u00e7u \u00e0 la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 royale du Canada et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e m\u00e9dicale canadienne, et s\u2019est vu d\u00e9cerner le prix Canada Gairdner. Le Dr<\/sup> Yusuf figure actuellement parmi les scientifiques les plus cit\u00e9s dans le domaine de la m\u00e9decine cardiovasculaire, et parmi les 20 chercheurs les plus cit\u00e9s de l\u2019histoire dans le domaine de la sant\u00e9. Il a fond\u00e9 le Population Health Research Institute, \u00e0 Hamilton, o\u00f9 quelque 300 chercheuses et chercheurs m\u00e8nent des \u00e9tudes dans plus de 100 pays. Un grand nombre de ces projets ont am\u00e9lior\u00e9 la pr\u00e9vention et le traitement d\u2019une multitude de maladies \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle plan\u00e9taire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo fournie par Hamilton Health Sciences<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Salim Yusuf est un cardiologue et un \u00e9pid\u00e9miologiste reconnu internationalement.
