yes
Highly unlikely at this age
Yes, potentially. But exercise, eating and sleeping well and taking care of yourself by getting your blood pressure under control as well as diabetes if you have it and not smoking or quitting are essential to preventing a heart attack.
Yes
Very unlikely in children, but possible in adults.
