Predicting a heart attack in advance is not really possible, but we can predict patients who are at more risk of having a heart attack. If patients have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, are smokers, or have a positive family history of heart attack, they are much more likely to have a heart attack themselves. Predicting an individual's risk of having a heart attack in advance is difficult.
