Heart Disease Prevention Program

Heart disease kills more men and women every year than anything else. The good news is that it is largely preventable and treatable. OHSU is committed to stopping and even reversing heart disease in our patients through early detection, education and treatment.

Part of OHSU’s fight against heart disease is to strike before it starts! Even if you’ve never had heart problems but are concerned about your health, our cardiology experts can help you determine your risk of heart disease. We can work with you to develop a program that helps you feel better and enjoy a healthier life.

Our prevention program begins with a comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment and access to state-of-the-art diagnostic testing. Our cardiac imaging team is recognized as one of the best in the world. Once your risks are identified, a preventive program is developed based on your individual needs. You can meet with cardiologists, physical therapists, nurses and experts who will help you start an exercise program that is safe for your current health level. We can also help you improve your diet, manage stress, stop smoking and more.
