Am I at High Risk for a Heart Attack?
Physicians use a number of different factors to assess your risk of having a heart attack or stroke."If your 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease is assessed at 9 percent, you should consider medical treatment. Current medical guidelines recommend starting nondiabetic patients ages 40 to 75 on statins once their 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease is 7.5 percent or higher."
