Some women may face heart disease risk despite good health

Attention women: Even if you are a non-smoker, exercise regularly, eat healthy, and live a relatively stress-free life, you may still be at somewhat of a risk of heart disease.

Two specific risks are what you should be particularly aware of. The first deals with C-reactive protein (which indicates if you have inflamed arteries) and the other is hereditary -- whether your parents had heart problems before they turned 60.

Obviously it's much easier to determine the second risk factor I listed. All it takes is looking at your parent's medical history. The first risk factor, however, does require you to take a high-sensitivity CRP test.
