Overview

Martial G. Bourassa was affiliated with the Montreal Heart Institute in Canada. Their research contributed to topics related to musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation, with a subfield focus on pharmacology.

Their recent publications included three papers all published in 2021 within the venue UNC Libraries:

  • Natural history and patterns of current practice in heart failure, 2021, UNC Libraries
  • Comparative neurohormonal responses in patients with preserved and impaired left ventricular ejection fraction: Results of the studies of left ventricular dysfunctions (SOLVD) registry, 2021, UNC Libraries
  • Relation of neurohumoral activation to clinical variables and degree of ventricular dysfunction: A report from the registry of studies of left ventricular dysfunction, 2021, UNC Libraries

Bourassa frequently collaborated with several coauthors, including:

  • David Johnstone
  • Salim Yusuf
  • Jalal K. Ghali
  • Claude R. Benedict
  • Debra K. Weiner

Their work primarily appeared in the publication venue UNC Libraries, where Bourassa had three works published. Their research contributions addressed clinical and neurohormonal aspects of heart failure and ventricular dysfunction, reflecting interdisciplinary intersections in cardiovascular studies and rehabilitation.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a career in medicine doesn’t always require following the traditional MD path. If you’re looking for flexible study options or a faster route into the healthcare workforce, there are several alternative online degrees and career pathways to consider.

For those interested in nursing, online bsn programs for non nurses offer a way for individuals with a non-nursing background to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. These programs are ideal if you already hold a bachelor’s degree in another field and want to transition into nursing.

If you prefer an administrative or technical healthcare role, exploring accredited medical billing and coding schools online with financial aid can help you start a career in healthcare documentation, insurance, or office administration—often with lower tuition costs and flexible learning schedules.

Entry-level nursing positions are also more accessible for some students through lpn program no entrance exam pathways, eliminating high-stress standardized tests from the admissions process.

Finally, if your interests lean toward healthcare leadership, a health care administration degree online can equip you with essential management and policy skills to oversee complex medical organizations—all from the convenience of your home.
