Family History and Coronary Heart Disease: Understanding the Risk

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of serious illness, yet many people donโ€™t realise that family history is one of the strongest predictors of developing it at a younger age.

The good news is that there is a lot you can do. Simple health checks and everyday lifestyle changes can significantly reduce your risk, even if heart disease runs in your family.

Join Dr Nick Lan to learn what your family history really means for your heart health, how to recognise early warning signs, and how new research like the CASCADE-MI study is helping improve early detection and prevention.
