Genes<br />
Your family health history can give you an indication<br />
of early trouble. Go see a doctor if your brother<br />
or father was 55 or younger when diagnosed with<br />
coronary heart disease (or 65 for your mother or<br />
sister)<br />
Age<br />
Those who are aged 65 and older are the majority<br />
of heart attack deaths but a man’s risk begins to<br />
increase at 45 while for women it starts at 55.<br />
Gender<br />
Overall men have a greater risk of a heart attack.<br />
But women are more likely to experience subtler<br />
heart attack symptoms such as fatigue and nausea<br />
and not just chest pain.<br />
