The American Heart Association has identified several risk factors that increase the risk of CVD. The first three we have no control over and these are age; gender (men have a greater risk of heart attack); and heredity (family history of heart disease). Other risk factors that can be controlled are smoking; high cholesterol; high blood pressure; physical inactivity; being overweight; and diabetes.
