Very low: Risk factors for heart disease include heredity, behavior and other diseases. You did not give any information about your family history or any co-existing disorders. I trust that you do not use tobacco. To reduce your risk eat a balanced diet low in saturated fats, control your weight and exercise about 150 minutes or more/wk. See this site. http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/risk_factors.htm.
