 It is not possible to predict who will get a heart attack and when. Nobody is
completely immune from this disease and it is a fact that any of us can get a
heart attack anytime even after taking medications or after undergoing bypass
surgery or angioplasty. We can, however, reduce our risk of having a heart attack
by adopting healthy lifestyle and taking medications when necessary. There is
usually no single reason for a heart attack. There are multiple risk factors and one
has to address them together. There are non- modifiable risk factors for heart
ailments like increasing age, male sex and a family history of heart problems.
