Yes: If you are a smoker, obese, hypertensive, have diabetes and your HDL is less than 40, you are at an increased risk of a cardiac event or stroke before age 60, whether it is going to happen or not time will tell. If your dad never smoked, is not obese, doesn't have diabetes, stayed active and this is happening then he has accelerated arteriosclerosis probably bad genetic prophile. Risk management.
