Do parents have heart disease?

Heart disease can be inherited by parents, usually related to the type of disease, and can be divided into congenital heart disease, acquired heart disease, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Congenital heart

disease refers to abnormal heart structure or function existing at birth. Congenital heart disease is generally related to genetic mutations or chromosomal abnormalities, and can be inherited in families. If someone in a family has congenital heart disease, the risk of other family members may increase, and heart disease is usually inherited by parents.

2. Acquired heart

disease refers to heart disease occurring after birth, such as hypertensive heart disease, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, heart failure, etc. The pathogenesis of acquired heart disease is affected by many factors, including environmental factors, lifestyle and genetic factors. In acquired heart disease, genetic factors play a relatively small role in the risk of onset, so parents with heart disease are usually not inherited.
