memyselfandi asked:


I’m filling out a family health history form for my doctor and it’s asking if anyone in my family has had coronary or congenital heart disease. I know my mom has heart disease but I don’t know which kind it is. One of the arteries to her heart was becoming blocked and they had to put a stent in that artery to open it back up - it’s called angioplasty. Is that coronary or congenital? Thanks.

Arlene

   Congenital is a heart condition that you are born with. Anything else is usually coronary.

   Your mom had coronary artery disease. Congenital heart disease is a condition you are born with, such as a congenital valve defect called a murmur. Coronary disease is something that develops over time, although you can be predisposed by genetics toward developing these ailments.
