Yes Ma'am, all my Uncles had heart problems, my brother also at about 48.
I had a bad heart attack and, according to the doctor passed away on the table, he couldn't bring me back or, I wouldn't stay he said. They'd tried three times but they kept loosing me.
Since then I've had six bypasses. I seem to be O.K. now and for some cholesterol and a little blockage, I'm doing O.K.
It does run in the family though.

diseases like those do run in the family...so yes, technically you can be predisposed to things like this, but this is not a guarantee that you will suffer from those ailments.

Many times, especially in the cardiac department and neurological department, family history is very "Key". That said, it doesn't mean you WILL in fact get it, it just means that heredity (and family history) do play a part in increasing the chances you will get somthing.
