Who gets heart attack?
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, can happen to anyone, but certain factors can increase the risk.
These factors include age, family history, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, lack of physical activity, and stress.
Men are at a slightly higher risk than women, and the risk increases with age.
However, it is important to note that anyone can have a heart attack, regardless of age, gender, or lifestyle.
It is essential to be aware of the risk factors and symptoms of a heart attack and to seek medical attention immediately if you or someone you know experiences them.
