Risk of Heart Attack

Mon 6 Jan 2020 04:57 PM

Most heart attacks occur as a result of coronary heart disease, which refers to conditions that can narrow or block blood vessels.

Some risk factors for heart disease, including your age and family history, cannot be changed.

But other risk factors, including diet and exercise, can be modified.

Even if you already have heart disease, you may be able to limit your heart attack risk by keeping measurements like your cholesterol and blood pressure under control.
