How Family History Affects Your Heart: Know the Genetic Risks
Did you know that heart diseases can run in families? If your close blood relatives have a history of heart-related conditions like high blood pressure (BP), diabetes, high cholesterol, or even heart attacks, your risk may be higher too. This is due to genetic or hereditary factors, which are non-modifiable risks—meaning you can’t change them.
However, the good news is that you can still take control of your heart health. By understanding your family history and making the right lifestyle choices—like eating healthy, staying active, managing stress, and going for regular check-ups—you can significantly reduce your chances of developing heart disease, even if it runs in your family.
In this video, we’ll discuss:
✔ How family history affects your heart health
✔ Common inherited risk factors like BP, sugar, and cholesterol
✔ The link between genetics and coronary artery disease
✔ What you can do to protect your heart
