Inherited cardiac diseaae are familial hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy and familial hypercholesterolemia. Congenital heart disease is present at birth and it is a development defect. Diagnosis of heart disease is by symptoms, signs, ekg, echo cardiographs and cardiac catheterization. Most of the defects can be treated surgically. Coronary artery disease is managed by cardiologist. Helps?
