When I think risk of heart attack, I think of genetics first. Heart attacks seem fairly unlikely in my family. There's not even a rumor of an instance.
Contrasting that is a friend who's family were cursed with a precondition. The men died of heart attacks before their ~45th birthday. My friend dropped dead waiting to pay his restaurant bill with two paramedics standing in line behind him.
I met his younger brother at the funeral. He was in his early 40s and was the last living male over 40, anywhere in his tree.

"When WtHR was categorised into quartiles, individuals with the highest values of WtHR (median of 0.65) had a significantly higher risk of HF compared with individuals in the other three quartile"
180cm height corresponds to 117cm waist in the relevant quartile. Considerable.
