My mom died of heart disease in her 90s. what is my risk if no other health problems?

Low: Family history is only one aspect of your risk. You need to also take into account high blood pressure, cholesterol level, sugar abnormalities, activity levels, age, genetic, weight...If you recently saw a physician and was told you have no health problems, then i would say your risk of having heart disease is very low.
