Your genes and DNA will determine if you inherit a heart condition that is passed from a parent to a child. Some young men in their thirties have been known to die from an undetected heart condition because they failed to understand their fathers had the same condition and died young from the same condition. It can be apparent from birth too. Such as a congenital heart defect that passes from one parent to the child.
