This quiz is not designed to diagnose heart disease.
It is only an indicator of your overall risk. If you have more questions about your
risk for heart disease, see your physician.
If you have heart disease, or if you've already had a heart attack, your heart attack
risk is significantly higher.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Only your doctor can evaluate your actual risk and devise a treatment plan to reduce
your risk. If you don't know what your cholesterol or blood pressure levels are,
ask your doctor to check them.
Your risk for coronary heart disease increases substantially over your lifetime
if you do not control or manage your risk factors. Talk with your doctor about how
you can reduce your risk factors for heart disease with a healthy diet, exercise
routine and medication if indicated.
