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

The surgeons at Kettering Medical Center have performed over 23,000 heart surgery procedures and are focused on providing you with excellence in care throughout your stay and for life.
