Will I Die From A Heart Attack ?

Well I was always wondering because my great grandpa died from a heart attack at age 53, my grandpa died from a heart at age 53 and my dad had open heart surgery at age 53. Do you think that I will either have a heart attack at 53 or surgery

If you have a family history of heart disease, it is only natural that you should take more care and avoid risk factors like fatty food and smoking. Get yourself evaluated by your doctor for other risk factors and follow his advice. It might just be a coincidence that both had it at the same age.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
