Uncontrollable Risk Factors like aging. Everyone's risk for heart disease grows with the age. By age 50 a woman's risk of heart attack is equal to that of a man and her survival rate after a heart attack is significantly less than a man's. Genetics history of heart disease means you may be predisposed to heart trouble. If your mother or sister had heart disease then chances are better that you will as well. In fact if anyone in your immediate family suffers from heart disease, use it as a wake up call to keep a closer eye on your heart health.
