Is Heart Disease Hereditary?

Whether heart disease is hereditary or not should be analyzed in combination with the actual situation.

Heart disease is the general term for heart structural or functional abnormalities. Clinically, according to the cause of heart disease, it can be divided into congenital heart disease and acquired heart disease. For congenital heart disease patients, the causes are mainly related to family inheritance, gene mutation, etc., so there is a certain degree of heredity. However, for patients with acquired heart disease, because the cause of their own disease is mainly related to environmental factors, dietary factors, etc., and the correlation with genetic factors is small, so there is generally no heredity.
