Genetic factors do play a role, but they serve as a warning also, if father had a heart attack during youth, it is a reason for you to lead a healthy life, no smoking / exposure to pollution, eat well, avoid fats, eat more fruits and vegetables, keep weight under control, lead a stress free life, keep bp & sugar under control if high and eat minimum salt, avoiding every tinned/ packed food as salt is the preservative.
