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.
