Yes, a history of heart attacks or other cardiovascular conditions in your family can increase your personal risk, as genes and shared lifestyle factors play a significant role. A strong family history is indicated by an immediate relative (parent or sibling) having a heart attack or stroke before age 60. You can lower your risk through lifestyle changes, even with a genetic predisposition, by focusing on healthy eating, regular exercise, managing stress, and quitting smoking.
