Well of course if your genetic heart defect is so serious that for
example your malformed heart doesn't beat well enough to survive past
infancy, your claim that effing prevention does nothing or hereditary
conditions is right on the money.

However, if your genetic defect is such that your family has a higher
incidence of heart disease than normal, there is a lot you probably do.
Likely you'll be more careful with things that are correlated with
heart disease, and more careful to get the proper diet and exercise.
Copper supplements might be appropriate, and tinctures of what is that
root called again -- aspirin. A little bit of alcohol every day
perhaps but not too much.

I'm afraid I know nothing about hypercholesterolemia, but I could point
out the obvious that if cholesterol is a problem you should monitor
your cholesterol intake and see what works (down to zero) more than
someone without hypercholesterolemia.

If diabetes is common in your family, you might be more likely to avoid
refined sugars even before it's diagnosed. Perhaps you'd try
supplements of chromium and vanadium, if you don't mind having
expensive urine.

I guess with Down's syndrome prevention is perhaps not possible, and
I'm too late for work to google Tay Sachs.

Sorry, no research secrets here, only contrarian BS.
