Laura's Family History of Heart Disease

Laura's dad had three heart attacks before she was 13, and later died from heart disease. Her grandmother, grandfather and several other relatives also died due to heart disease. Yet Laura, who is 30, has put off going to a cardiologist to have her heart health checked. She recently tested her blood pressure at a pharmacy, and says the number "scared her to death," so she reached out to The Doctors to learn how to reduce her risk.
