Overall, low: However, this depends on your history: having high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, a family history of coronary artery disease, or using drugs like amphetamines or cocaine. Smoking also increases your risk. If you are having concerning symptoms, always see your doctor. Scores like the framingham risk score can help categorize your risk. These scores are all available online now.
