What are the chances of a 25 year old female having a heart attack? what are the risk factors?

Slim: But i did take care of 1 17 year old (in 50 years of cardiology experience) who did have a heart attack at age 17.

Low chance.: Unless you have a strong family history (mother, father, siblings) of early heart attacks, you have a low likelihood. Risk factors: diabetes, smoking, drugs, hypertension, high cholesterol. We think its the estrogen which protects women's hearts, so until menopause your heart is safer than a male your age.
