Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids.
The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids.
The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause Heart disease.
Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.

What foods are dangerous for the heart?
Generally, foods that are high in bad cholesterol (LDL), and trans fats are going to be bad news for your heart. LDL cholesterol is associated with plaque buildup in arteries that lead to heart disease and heart attacks. Trans fats are unsaturated fats that can't be broken down by the body, so they become plaque deposits in the arteries as well. You can tell if something has trans fats in it by looking at the ingredients of a food item. If it contains any sort of hydrogenated substance, chances are, there is some amount of trans fat.Typical "dangerous" foods are,donuts, processed cookies, french fries, potato chips, white bread, shortening, processed meat, processed chocolate, etc.You can use your common sense as well. Fried foods and processed foods have a lot of unhealthy fats and sugars in them, while whole foods are usually better processed by your body. A good rule of thumb is, if you can't pronounce/understand all of the ingredients on the back label, it's probably not the best thing for you.
How is heart disease spread among humans?
The health of your heart is an outcome of some specific factors like your blood vessels stiffness, circulation in the vessels, and the amount of blockage in your arteries. These factors can be affected by many things that you do in life like your physical activity, consumption of alcohol, smoking and diet. The approach you need in order to maintain a healthy heart should be a method that fits well with these factors. Therefore i think that the risk of a heart disease should be the focus instead of which way to chose to prevent it. The best way is to focus on your heart and chose a method or treatment that provides specific results in that area (your heart health). EECP treatment or ECP treatment (External counter pulsation) is as simple as a massage (but is done by a machine) and would help you in creating multiple natural bypasses in your heart. This treatment involves no invasive surgery or medicine use. It is effective because it results in opening up of newer blood vessels in your heart ( a process known as angiogenesis). It is also beneficial for patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, high cholesterol, obesity, ischemic stroke and many more diseases.
Who is at risk of a heart attack?
Every living person is at risk of a heart attack. Heart failure is the leading cause of death even if it is secondary to another disease like cancer or other life threatening disease. This makes the classification of actual cause of death speculative. If a person only smokes for a year of their life and dies, smoking can be placed as the cause. People who have poor diets, do not exercise, eat too much salt, eat high cholesterol foods, smoke and drink to excess can be classified as high risk to heart disease.
