Cierra Trusted UPMC for Cardiovascular Care

At the age of 14, Cierra Moss began an unexpected journey to regain her health with UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute. With a proper diagnosis and successful surgical procedure, she now looks to the future with peace of mind.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, but it's also preventable.

To identify and treat heart disease early, it's crucial to get your heart checked in person or virtually. Working with your provider, you will learn about your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, and how your weight and family history impact your health. It's also important to understand that heart disease affects women and men differently.

Experts from the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute encourage you to check your heart and keep your health on track.
