Vanderbilt Heart One Hundred Oaks
You would do anything for your family. Chances are you take better care of them than you do yourself. This is exactly why you need a heart check-up from a heart prevention specialist. Heart disease is the number one cause of death and, most importantly, it's largely preventable.

Your Heart Today
Great strides have been made in heart care. In the case of heart disease or stroke, medical breakthroughs mean that patients have much better recoveries. But heart disease remains the number one cause of death in men and women worldwide. Closer to home, Tennessee ranks high in the U.S. for death from heart disease and stroke.

Vanderbilt Heart offers a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular disease. The program utilizes the latest advances in heart care and clinical therapies to accurately diagnose and manage heart disease, with a full range of diagnostic services, including advanced imaging to detect the tiniest abnormality, such as CT angiography, perfusion imaging and trans-thoracic echocardiography.

The One Hundred Oaks facility is part of the Vanderbilt Heart network, which has expertise in less invasive procedures that offer faster recovery, surgical innovations that deliver better results, and heart research that improves the quality of patients' experiences and outcomes.

Special Focus
Unique to the clinic is an emphasis on heart disease prevention. Our comprehensive heart disease prevention program takes an individualized approach to assess and manage risk factors, with the goal of preventing or delaying an initial cardiac event.

Customized treatments include lifestyle modifications, medications, non-surgical interventions and surgical procedures, if indicated. All in the setting of a full-service heart and vascular program offering a complete range of diagnostic and physician consultation services.

The program also offers complex lipid and metabolic disorder management for coronary heart disease or other heart and vascular conditions.

Understanding Heart and Vascular Prevention
The program begins by evaluating your risk factors for heart disease. These include age, gender and family history. Other contributors might be smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, high stress and physical inactivity. Following a physical examination that includes a comprehensive lab assessment and tests such as an electrocardiogram or treadmill test, patients meet with other members of their heart team for further evaluation and management options.
