Well you may be at risk of suffering from heart disease(s) if you have a family member or parent who has developed a heart attack or stroke at an early age.

But genetics is no longer the primary determinant for cardiovascular disease. Learned lifestyle, school exercise, diet and stress management have been found to play significant role in the development of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity.

Even if your mother or father had heart disease, you can still make personal lifestyle improvement that reduces your risk significantly. Its better also to note that blood pressure is controlled by flexibility and overall side of the blood vessels.

Inflammation and excess cholesterol reduce the flow of blood, which ultimately increases the pressure within the blood vessel. When the pressure increases your heart must work harder to pump blood through the smaller space and wherever the blood is travelling to (for example; arms, toes, brain etc) will suffer.
