Well there is a lot a person can do to help them prevent heart attack. A study by Interheart found that 90% of the risk associated with such factors as high cholesterol, blood pressure, physical activity, diet, and smoking are within a person’s ability to control. While there are things like genetics that you cannot control, you can trump awful lot of genetics with the choices and decision you take.
