How families navigate genetic heart disease risk together

Our family has a genetic predisposition to heart disease and we all handle it differently — my sister gets obsessive about testing, my brother ignores it completely, and I'm somewhere in the middle, but we never actually talk about what it means to live with this knowledge hanging over us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
