My doctor has told me that I'm at risk for heart disease. I'd like to learn more about this.

Heart disease is a condition in which the arteries become narrowed, blocked or hardened due to build-up of plaque on their inner walls. This can reduce blood flow and cause damage to the heart muscle. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to help prevent heart disease, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and maintaining an ideal body weight. You should also speak with your doctor if you have any concerns about your heart health.
