Dr. Oommen and Dr. Di Liello are here to address your incoming questions about the historical situation that we are currently living in; the COVID-19 pandemic. Today’s video raises many important points including the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, ACE inhibitors, the reality and impact of non-medical professionals using face masks throughout their day-to-day lives, and more.
A major point that we would love for our viewers to take away from this segment is that we are all currently going through what will be our new reality for the next unforseen amount of time. The best way to continue to contain the coronavirus is to keep ourselves safe from any contamination risk factors through, you guessed it, social distancing.
We are currently receiving many questions regarding exceptions to social distancing, like visiting friends after 14 days of isolation for instance, but these are generally not recommended. As our patients know, at Cardiogenix we strongly encourage socializing as a way to maintain a healthy lifestyle… But as Dr. Di Liello mentions, we are now living through what is called “pandemic life”, and for the time being, we must adjust.
The good news is that we can continue to connect with our friends and loved ones through technology! And remember, we are all going through this together. You are not alone.
We encourage you to send us more questions at info@cardiogenix.ca, but most importantly,
if you believe that you are showing symptoms or may have come in contact with someone with COVID-19, please call the info-coronavirus line at 1-877-644-4545.
Thank you all for watching – Stay safe everyone!
Your Cardiogenix Family
Thank you for the incredible amount of questions you have been sending for these video segments!
As Dr. Oommen puts it: “Our email inbox is on FIRE!”…. Wait till the end for Dr. Di Liello’s reaction to this, he didn’t expect that!
The Doctors are back to answer all of your coronavirus questions!
We have all heard the term “social distancing” at this point, but to what lengths should we go? They will address whether or not hanging out with our neighbors outdoors poses a risk, if going for walks is safe, and if we should avoid having our dogs socialize with others. They also touch on questions such as when to get tested for COVID-19 and if vinyl gloves can be worn again if washed.
We encourage you to send us more questions at info@cardiogenix.ca, but most importantly, if you believe that you are showing symptoms or may have come in contact with someone with COVID-19, please call the info-coronavirus line at 1-877-644-4545.
Today the Doctors were particularly occupied with our patients, so tonight we would like to share Dr. Oommen & Terry Di Monte’s conversation about the coronavirus!
If you didn’t hear it this morning on CHOM 97.7 FM, Terry and Dr. O discuss various coronavirus related subjects such as grocery shopping during a pandemic, keeping your immunity up through healthy lifestyle habits, being cautious when on immunosuppressive medications, and more. Thank you Terry for having us on the show, it’s a pleasure as always!

Have a safe weekend indoors everyone, we will see you all on Monday for our next segment with both Dr. Di Liello and Dr. Oommen!
Hi everyone! The Doctors are back tonight with your daily dose of coronavirus knowledge. This evening, Dr. Oommen and Dr. Di Liello answer the controversial subject of the effects of blood pressure medication and anti-inflammatories (such as Advil) on COVD-19, as well as other questions such as how long we will be social distancing for, if isolating ourselves in our country home is more effective than at our house, whether or not the virus can get through the pores of our skin, and to what extent must we avoid touching our faces.
These are all great questions and lead back to the importance of social distancing and washing our hands. It is most important to keep a safety perimeter around our home as the virus spreads primarily through droplets in the air.
Thank you again for your submissions and for all of the positive feedback we have been receiving.
We encourage you to send us more questions at info@cardiogenix.ca, but most importantly, if you believe that you are showing symptoms or may have come in contact with someone with COVID-19, please call the info-coronavirus line at 1-877-644-4545.
In tonight’s segment, Dr. Oommen and Dr. Di Liello introduce new concepts related to the coronavirus – such as community spread and herd immunity – in order to help everyone understand the patterns of a pandemic. The Doctors also give a brief history lesson on vaccinations, and tackle more of your concerns such as the effect of blood pressure medications on COVID-19 and whether or not ordering food is safer than doing our own groceries.
As the Quebec numbers steadily increase, we must continue to keep our ultimate goal in mind: to slow the virus down (flatten the curve) by staying home, thus allowing our frontline workers the time to treat those who need it most and the government to make more test kits.
We encourage you to send us more questions at info@cardiogenix.ca, but most importantly, if you believe that you are showing symptoms or may have come in contact with someone with COVID-19, please call the info-coronavirus line at 1-877-644-4545.
Thank you all for watching & see you tomorrow!
Your Cardiogenix Family
Dr. Oommen and Dr. Di Liello are back with your coronavirus concerns. Tonight, they tackle your million dollar question… Should we wear masks and are they effective? They also explain how to stay safe when self-isolating in shared living spaces such as apartments, condos, and retirement homes, and which precautions to take when we do have to leave the house for food and essential items.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our fellow medical teams and front-line workers for all of the effort that has been going into helping those in need, as well as the emergency workers providing food, essential items and services to the public in these times of crisis. Not everyone can self isolate at this time, so it is important for those who can to do their part.
Pro Social Distancing Tip for those who are still working: Do not be shy to move or change seats if someone gets too close in public! As our doctors say, COVID-19 is on everyone’s mind, and there is no need to feel bad for taking the correct distancing measures.
Once again, thank you everyone for your questions and for your collective efforts.
We encourage you to send us more at info@cardiogenix.ca, but most importantly, if you believe that you are showing symptoms or may have come in contact with someone with COVID-19, please call the info-coronavirus line at 1-877-644-4545.
As always, stay safe everybody… Indoors and out!

Together we can change the outcome of this pandemic.
Tonight, Dr. Oommen and Dr. Di Liello update you on the current COVID-19 situation in Quebec, and delve into some of your more difficult questions such as seeing family members with an autoimmune disease, how to care for your elderly parents during quarantine, whether or not we should be weary of our pets spreading the virus, and how long the coronavirus will remain a threat to society.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared this afternoon that it is the duty of every single one of us to self isolate and distance ourselves from others to avoid prolonging the spread of this virus. COVID-19 is a serious threat, but if we work together and do as the government instructs, we can flatten the curve and save many lives.
So please, stay home, going out only for food and absolute necessities. As our Prime Minister put it, “Enough is enough. Go home and stay home. This is what we all need to be doing.”
These times are definitely very difficult, but we thank you all for taking the time to submit your questions and tuning in to these segments.
