Answer:
No. However a wooden stake through the heart (and only a wooden stake -- not steel, silver, plastic or other material -- and only through the heart) will paralyze a vampire driving them into torpor. In such a state their bodies eventually shrivel and mummify. Eventually, the stake will rot, be eaten by termites, or may be pulled out by some unsuspecting mortal (or other Vampire) and the Vampire will rise again, usually somewhat peeved. And hungry. For you would-be Vampire hunters out there, a stake through the heart is a good start before you behead them or drag them out into the sunlight.
