Heart attacks and strokes are preventable, according to new medical evidence. However, the main issue is that women aren\u2019t aware that they are at risk and underestimate their personal risk level.

It all depends on\nyour lifestyle and genetic makeup:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heredity.<\/strong> Family history is an important indicator of\nyour future risks, especially if your father had a heart attack before the age\nof 45 or your mother before the age of 55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personal.<\/strong> Factors that contribute to an elevated LDL,\nan elevated CRP-HS, can be aging, existing heart disease, diabetes, high blood\npressure, smoking, metabolic syndrome, and poor lifestyle choices are all\nfactors that can play a part in a stroke or heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 90% of heart attacks and strokes are due to plaque within the walls of arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the vital organs of the body. When the surface capsule of the cholesterol plaque ruptures, releasing cholesterol core material directly into the blood stream, a significant and sudden event occurs \u2013 a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/dvt\/blood-clots#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"blood clot (opens in a new tab)\">blood clot<\/a> is formed causing a potentially fatal blockage of blood flow and oxygen supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If plaque rupture occurs in the coronary arteries of the heart, the result is a heart attack. If a plaque rupture occurs in the carotid arteries supplying the brain, a stroke occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you would like more information on heart attack and stroke prevention, contact Dr. Gordon C.
