With heart disease, we hear a lot about family history. Nebraska Medicine cardiologist Douglas Stoller, MD, PhD, answers questions such as:
1.) What is heart disease?
2.) Who is most at risk for developing heart disease?
3.) If you know your family has a history of heart disease, what should you do?
4.) How much family history do you need to know?
5.) If heart disease runs in my family, does that mean I’m in big trouble?
6.) Is there anything I can do to help prevent heart disease?
7.) What about genetic testing? Who would be a candidate for this?
