Heart Attack Risk

Who is at risk for a heart attack? Every man and woman. Once thought of as a man's disease, heart attack is the #1 killer of women in the US, eight times more common than breast cancer death. For both genders, family history is a key component. Knowing the most common heart attack risk factors is one key to heart attack prevention. Your lifestyle choices can also be heart attack risk factors. Learn what you need to know about heart attack risk, to prevent a first heart attack. And what to look out for to prevent a second heart attack.
