Your mother had a heart attack
Actually, no matter which relative it was, the American Heart Association says that heart disease and risk factors for heart disease are strongly linked to family history. There are at least 67 sites in the DNA sequence, or variants, that can increase your risk of a heart attack, and as Dr. Pradeep Natarajan, director of preventive medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, told Harvard Health Publishing, “Each of these variants raises the relative risk of cardiovascular disease by about 10%.
But if you have a number of them, it adds up.” The good news is, having a family history of heart attacks don’t guarantee you will have one. Actively maintaining a healthy lifestyle can lower your overall risk.
