depends on the mode of transmission. so I'll lay it out to you in general instances.
if it is spread by indirect contact(e.g. airborne, waterborne,etc.) just make sure that you know where the things that you get come from. like food and water, make sure you know that its clean and safe.
if it is spread by direct contact(blood, genital secretions, mucous membrane to mucous membrane) it is avoidable easily. awareness is one thing that you should have. awareness of the disease and awareness of its mode of transmission.
Cardiovascular disease can be attributed to this uncontrollable risk factor:
genetics
The only uncontrollable factors for cardiovascular disease, like many diseases, are genetic background and age. Most other factors are able to be affected by lifestyle changes in diet/activity/stress habits, as well as by pharmacologic and surgical treatments.
gender, age, race, environment
Controllable risk factors are those that can be managed and lessened or reduced. Uncontrollable risk factors are like Acts of God.
high blood pressure , overweight ,smoking ,
poverty
Elderly, cigarette smoking obese people have a high risk of cardiovascular disease.
controllable risk factors
Fructose intake has been correlated with higher levels of plasma triglycerols and smaller LDL particle size, which are risk factors which have been correlated with cardiovascular disease. However, there are many factors of factors that can be correlated in the same way, so such studies cannot demonstrate which of them, if any, have a causal relationship with cardiovascular disease. It has been shown that fructose and glucose are metabolized differently, and that fructose intake has a higher correlation with certain cardiovascular risk factors than glucose.
Anne-Marie Waters has written: 'Risk factors for cardiovascular disease'
A smoker's risk of heart attack, or myocardial infarction, is four times the risk of nonsmokers. Smokers also have four times the risk of cardiovascular disease in general.
