Family history of CVD modifies future CVD risk depending on the number and age of affected first-degree relatives. Siblings of patients with CVD have about a 40% risk increase, while offspring of parents with premature CVD have a 60% to 75% risk increase. Consistent definitions of premature CVD would allow a better estimate of the true attributable risk.
