Is coronary artery disease (CAD) hereditary or non-communicable?!


Question: Is coronary artery disease (CAD) hereditary or non-communicable!?
Answers:
CAD is caused by both heredity and environmental factors!. Heredity only gives you the "predisposition" to get it- it does not guarantee you will have CAD even if members of your family do!. However, if you are already predisposed to have CAD and you have poor health habits, such as eating fatty foods (athersclerosis,or hardening of the arteries, is the #1 contributing factor to the disease), smoking, or being obese, this will increase your chances of having CAD!. Likewise, if you are predisposed and you lead a healthier lifestyle, you may never get it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not communicable!. Hereditary tendencies!. More likely family dietary and activity habits play into familial heart disease!.

I shared my Dad's habit of snacking on crackers and cheese, and throw in my own habit of ice cream almost every day!. My four siblings did not do this!. I have bad heart disease, worse than my father's, they don't seem to have heart disease at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
