The client with stage 2 hypertension and recent myocardial infarction has the highest risk for developing heart disease due to their history of heart disease and uncontrolled hypertension. Diabetes mellitus and prehypertension (A) are risk factors for heart disease, but not as significant as a history of myocardial infarction and stage 2 hypertension. Parkinson's disease (B) and osteoporosis (C) are not considered risk factors for heart disease.
