I spend most of my life avoiding fats and cholesterol. I also exercised
regularly. It did not help. My cardiologist told me every one over 45 is
at risk. All you can hope is that you have the correct genes. I suppose
without the diet and exercise I may have died years ago. The bottom line
is pick your ancestors carefully and hope the ER doctor knows what a
heart attack looks like. In my case he did not but fortunately the nurse
did and insisted on a nitro and heparin drip. Without this nurse I would
have been dead. Thus luck is also important.
