      Family history is one of the risk factors. The other risk factors that you cannot control are your age (over 65 is higher risk) and your ethnicity (those of South Asian, Black, Aboriginal, or Inuit descent have greater risk).

      The best course of action is to live a heart healthy lifestyle to minimize the other risk factors. This includes not smoking, being at a good body weight, eating a heart-healthy diet, exercising, etc.

      A website with great information about all of this is and the home page with links to all kinds of great resources at

      I hope this helps… good luck!
