A member asked:
Can it be that a family history of heart disease put me at risk of congestive heart failure at age 18 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: My advise to you is that during your early age you decrease all controllable risk factors possible. Keep healthy weight, do not smoke, control chol, bp, exercise, do not drink, control stress.
