Condition #6: Inherited Heart Condition
When we are conceived, our parents pass on the genetic code that determines how our body and much of our mind develops. This code is very complex, containing a vast amount of information, so it is inevitable that something will go wrong sometimes. Sometimes, this can have a direct effect on the heart.
Inherited heart conditions are those that have been passed down from the parents. They don’t necessarily start at birth and can first appear when people are adults. Indeed, a lot of people with an inherited heart condition will not even know. They can even lead to peoples’ death when they are not diagnosed.
