A member asked:
Is hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease hereditary?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
May be: Hypertension run in families. I am not sure, if there is a known genetic correlation to call it as hereditary. When genetic science improves, we may call it as hereditary. Bot, for now, there is an association between hypertension and blood relatives.
