Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States. Although heart disease has a genetic component, it can also be quite preventable, with some lifestyle changes. Having a frank discussion with your doctor about your risk factors and appropriate testing can decrease your risk of developing heart disease or living longer if you already have it.
