HOW DO GENETICS OR FAMILY HISTORY INCREASE THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE?

 

• Some heart disease can be passed down through families. Monogenic conditions include uncommon disorders that mostly affect the heart's muscle (such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) or electrical system (such as long QT syndrome). Another example is familial hypercholesterolemia that causes very high cholesterol levels and can lead to premature coronary artery disease (occurring before age 50).

• The risk for heart disease can increase even more when heredity combines with unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking cigarettes, eating unhealthy diet, stressful lifestyle and lack of physical activities.

• We can’t counteract genetics but we can certainly adapt healthy lifestyle choices (such as quit smoking, eat healthy food, maintain healthy body weight and exercise more) to reduce the risk of developing heart diseases.

Just because your family has a history of heart disease, does not mean that you will also have the same diseases in life.
