10 Causes of Heart Attacks
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #1: Age
With age, the risk of getting a disease increases, including a heart attack. Even though a heart attack can affect anyone at any age, it usually occurs in those over the age of 50 years old.
In men, the risk is higher over the age of 45 years old, while in women the risk is higher over the age of 55 years old. However, heart attacks in people in their 20s or 30s have also been reported.
