Over at The Medical Blog Network, Dr. Rob Lamberts gives an overview of risk factors for coronary heart disease.

Diabetes – especially Type 2 (Adult onset) diabetes
High blood pressure
Family history of heart disease (Father under age 55, mother under age 65 or siblings with heart disease are considered strong risk factors)
Smoking – the more the merrier – smoking a single cigarette per day is not the same as 2 packs per day, but both are a bad idea.
High Cholesterol.
