Certain risk factors increase your chances of developing coronary artery disease. Some
risk factors are things you can't change like age and family history of heart disease.
Other risk factors can often be changed or controlled with life style changes and
sometimes medications.
These risk factors include:
- high blood pressure
- high cholesterol
- diabetes
- smoking
- being overweight
- eating unhealthy foods
- lack of a daily 20-30 minute exercise routine
