Early detection and your awareness of the situation are your best bets. Being so well educated and having the advantage of knowing your family history may be the smartest ally you have. Exercise and proper diet can ensure you have a fighting chance to beat the odds. And don’t smoke!

Keep your weight down through diet and exercise. And don’t have stress in your life. That is all you can do.
If the heart disease has been mostly in one form, then consider testing for it now while there are no symptoms. It might provide problems getting health insurance, but you will be able to take steps to limit future problems. And vote democrat to ease the future insurance coverage problem as republicans are against people with heart disease getting insurance.
If you have a heredity disease it will probably already be detectable. Some forms of cardiomyopathy will appear in the late teens. Many highschool athletes have died from it. How quickly it advances depends in part on your lifestyle.
