Which groups are at risk of cardiovascular problems?

Men at an earlier age suffer more than women, whose risk increases after menopause. We must be cautious when there is a family burden. If one of the parents has a pronounced cardiovascular pathology, the probability of inheritance is extremely high.

Cardiovascular disorders are observed even at the earliest age.
