[QUOTE="Golfboy307, post: 240533, member: 39462"] Interesting discussion. Something I certainly pay attention to. Vince, with regards to one's parents, it certainly depends on the genetics you inherit. For instance, my dad died at 44 of a heart attack. Ton of risk factors, including smoking and high stress job. My mom is in her 80's with no heart issues. I asked several of my doctors about "heredity" when it comes to heart disease. I liked this explanation: Inherited risk for heart disease almost always manifests itself in a physical process. Genes express themselves in our body. For instance, my dad likely had one or more of the many causes of an MI/plaque: smoking (check), overweight (check), high BP (check), inflammation, diabetes, LP(a), poor lipids (check), poor diet, lack of exercise, stress. The list goes on and on right? My doctor said to focus on mitigating those risks and stop worrying about your "inherited risk". For the record, I think the only one on that list he passed on to me is hypertension. All of the others I have little to no issues. Not on a statin due to strong lipid profile (and other reasons discussed above). Could I still have a heart attack? Sure, I believe my risk is lower thanks to managing the above factors. (Age 55).
