A heart attack can strike anyone with a heart; however, there are some risk factors that seem to predispose some people to heart attacks.
There is a greater risk for a heart attack in people who have one or a combination of the following:
1. Age: people who are greater than 65-years-old are more at risk for a heart attack
2. Gender: men are more likely than women to have a heart attack
3. Genetic Factors/Family History: people who have family who suffered a heart attack are more likely to have a heart attack
4. Race/Ethnicity: your race can make you more susceptible to a heart attack; African-Americans have the highest risk
5. Medical Conditions: people with certain medical conditions--such as hypertension (high blood pressure), Diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.--are more at risk for a heart attack
6. Lifestyle Factors: smoking, alcohol use, poor diet, and physical inactivity contribute to risk for heart attack
There are more factors that increase your risk, but the above are the most common risk factors.
Any strike to the heart can kill. How you learn to strike has little to do with it.
