Thanks for the figures. 60% is crazy tho. Sure, genetics are bound to be involved in some way, but I would have assumed that especially anything related to your heart's function is bound to be linked to your "lifestyle choices" and not as much to your gene pool

That appeared to be the highest amount in literature I found. So it is definitely the high end.

I learned that the environment played a large role in cancer awhile ago, but the heart disease challenge my perception as well. While it does not appear to be the dominate factor, it is definitely a significant one.
