Family history

If your father or brother had coronary heart disease or a heart attack before the age of 55, or if your mother or sister had coronary heart disease or a heart attack before they were 65, then you might have a greater risk of having the same problem.

You will need to talk to your doctor about how this might affect your risk of getting heart disease.
