Who is at risk for CHD?
Risk factors are conditions that increase your possibility of developing heart disease. Some can be changed and some cannot. Even though these factors each enhance the risk of CHD, they do not explain all the causes of coronary heart disease; even with none of these risk factors, you might still develop CHD.
