Genetic heart health
Hi doctors, My dad passed away due to cardiac arrest and his side of the family (parents, brothers, etc) have had heart disease as well. My blood group is same as his, I've heard that I can possibly get heart disease as well genetically. Is this true? If yes, what can I do further?

Don’t be panic. Relax. Certain diseases run in family, but not that all family members will be affected, better consult a cardiologist and discuss. we needs more details
