Family History and Heart Disease Risk | Limassol Cardiologist

Family history plays a powerful role in cardiovascular health. If heart disease runs in your family, awareness is essential — not alarming.

What Counts as High-Risk Family History

  • Heart attack before age 55 in men
  • Heart attack before age 60 in women
  • Multiple relatives with heart disease
  • Known inherited cholesterol conditions

Why Genetics Matter

Genes influence how the body handles cholesterol, blood pressure, and inflammation. This means risk may exist even in people who feel healthy.

What Early Screening Achieves

  • Identifies risk before symptoms
  • Allows preventive treatment
  • Helps protect future generations

Knowledge Is Prevention

Knowing your family history gives you the opportunity to act early.
