As someone with inherited heart problems who has been on anti-hypertensive medications since teen years, I’m stoked for this even if it takes a while to get there.

I’ve spent my entire life assuming my bad genes (I got the worst from both sides of my family, yay!) would spell an early death (many in my family including my mother died before age 60). I’m not sure how I feel finding out that may not be the case for myself, but I’m stoked it might be an option all the same.
