Do I Have To Worry About Heart Disease?

I m 19 and recently had a check up and was told that I pretty much couldn t get much healthier then I am. I have a family history of heart disease and was wondering if I still have to worry about getting it despite how healthy I am.

I wouldn't worry about it too much at the moment, as you are only 19 but as long as you maintain your healthy lifestyle as you get older you have a good chance of escaping it. keep going for regular check ups though.
