A change in lifestyle often plays a major role in preventing a heart problem from developing or reccurring.

  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Smoking
  • High-fat diets

Community Education Programs

As part of the hospital’s dedication to the prevention of cardiovascular disease, UPMC Passavant offers frequent programs to physicians, nurses, and the community about:

  • Smoking cessation
