When someone in your immediate family has experienced a heart attack, stroke, or other heart-related issues, it can raise your own risk beyond the usual level. This is because certain risk factors, such as high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, or diabetes, can be passed down through genes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, having a genetic risk doesn\u2019t mean you will definitely develop heart disease.
