Prevent a Heart AttackIf you wish to prevent a heart attack, the first step is knowing the risk factors -- these include smoking, diabetes, and being overweight. Once you know the risk factors, you can start to make good decisions about your health. This can mean making lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, losing weight, and becoming more physically active. This can also mean making other changes, such as taking medication and monitoring your blood pressure and cholesterol.
