• Men over the age of 45 or women over the age of
  55

  smoke. Quitting smoking is one of the best ways
  to ensure you are less at risk of a heart attack.

• Diabetes An increase in blood sugar can increase
  the risk of a heart attack.
• Family history of heart attacks, especially if
  your relative had a heart attack early (before
  the age of 55 for men and 65 for women)
• Lacking exercise. A Sedentary lifestyle is linked
  to a higher risk of heart attacks.
• Unhealthy diets. Diets high in sugar, animal
  fats, processed foods, and salt increase the
  risk.

  cocaine and amphetamines, can trigger a coronary
