No, I didn't forget family history, because I was talking about self induced risk factors. The predisposing factors for heart disease that can't be changed include of course, family history, age, sex and unavoidable disease processes and drug treatment regimes that cause atherosclerotic diseases and worse circulation (e.g. Estrogen therapy, Raynauds Disease, Diabetes, etc.). I was responding to a conversation about fatty foods pushing someone over the edge and leading to a final blockage of coronary vessels, and took the tack about discussing avoidable risk factors. But you're right, there are many multifaceted reasons for why our heart vessels degenerate, and that's why IMAT has such a huge potential customer base for it's cardiac screening applications.
