Heart disease is the number one cause of death among Arkansans. The total cardiovascular disease death rate in Arkansas is the seventh highest in the U.S., according to a study done by the the American Heart Association in 2009.

To curb these statistics and make life better for those affected by heart disease or heart failure, the Arkansas Heart Hospital has stepped in. The Strong Hearts Clinic is an outpatient program that offers a healthier, more convenient way to manage heart failure.

Located down the street from the hospital at Arkansas Heart Hospital Clinic, the program provides individualized management of heart failure patients through close monitoring and coordinating with the patient’s physician to improve outcomes.

The clinic also emphasizes individualized diet and lifestyle education for patients and their families to maximize long-term heart health.
