When it comes to anti-aging, it is important to start by knowing yourself first and try not to let yourself age from your current state. Blood vessels are "organs" that are stretched throughout the body, and we believe that knowing the condition of your blood vessels is very important for antiaging medicine. The FMD test is an easy-to-understand test for both physicians and patients because it provides a numerical indication of the condition of blood vessels.

Smoking cessation is important for the prevention of respiratory diseases such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction.
In recent years, the use of varenicline, a smoking cessation drug, has been widely used for patients who wish to quit smoking. We recommend that these patients undergo a vascular endothelial function test (FMD).

It is important to slow the progression of arteriosclerosis in order to extend healthy life. If obesity, stress, sleep disorders, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, irregular lifestyle, and unbalanced diet accumulate, blood vessels will be damaged without being aware of it, and one day, a stroke or myocardial infarction will suddenly occur.

We aim to be a home doctor that everyone in the community can rely on.
Our specialty is the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease and lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
We also offer outpatient smoking cessation services and diabetes care by a Japan Diabetes Care Instructor.

The average age of outpatients visiting our cardiology department is 75 years old, reflecting the aging rural community.
There are approximately 800 patients who visit the hospital on a regular basis, and many of them tend to have cardiovascular diseases and hypertension.

We are committed to primary prevention, focusing on respiratory and lifestyle-related diseases, in order to extend healthy life expectancy through early detection and intervention at the pre-symptomatic stage, and to help ease the decline in patients' QOL and to depress the future medical costs.

The center is staffed with cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, radiologists including angiography, physiology, outpatient, ICU (intensive care unit), HCU (high care unit), hospital wards, clinical engineers, cardiac rehabilitation, surgery, anesthesiology, nutrition, and many other departments and staffs cooperate and collaborate in the treatment

As a vascular surgeon who treats patients with pathologically advanced atherosclerosis such as critical leg ischemia and ruptured aortic aneurysms, I cannot help but feel
keenly the need for early detection and early treatment of atherosclerosis.
It has been known that people with risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia are more likely to develop the atherothrombosis 20 to 30 years later.
We established the "Atherosclerosis Vascular Screening" in 2002 since I had had a simple question, "Why can't we detect atherothrombosis at an early stage before it becomes symptomatic?
