You do cardiovascular exercise and hope you've gotten a good ticket in the genes lottery.

  The genes lottery... haha yes. Soon it will probably be easier to grow you a new heart and replace your old one every 10-20 years or so.

    That still leaves you with the pesky little detail that any kind of surgery has an associated risk of you leaving the hospital in a horizontal position. So you're definitely not going to be taking the risk of swapping your heart out every decade over exercise, you will only do that when there is absolutely no other option. Elective surgery isn't a good idea. If you can do without, do without.

      probably. but if it's safe to say, that every heart stops working after a given period of time, what else can you do? die while on a plane when it suddenly stops or switch the heart planned while you are still healthy?

  Also have a good diet. Diet and exercise are the main ways to prevent both cancer and heart disease. There is also emerging evidence that vitamin D helps prevent cancer.
