You can visit your doctor regularly, maintain a healthy bmi, never smoke, adopt a diet low in saturated and trans fats, exercise 4-5 times per week for at least 30 minutes, get your cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure checked often, and make a plan to address those issues if any of them are problematic.
Good luck! My family history is bad for heart disease, too.
