I have no heart problems neither in my family. But could I possibly die of heart attack? I mean I have no history of heart ailments even before. But I just want to know. Is it possible?
Yes, you’re at risk! We all are at risk, just how at risk you are I can’t say. Having a family history of heart disease does increase your risk, but it doesn’t mean you have no risk. Follow the healthy diet and exercise and other components of my article that you might consider a risk to yourself. If you want to learn your percise risk of heart disease see a cardiologist for a risk asscessment.
