You'd have to speak to a Genetics Counselor about his specific condition and if it is passed on genetically or not.

ya I did they said that there is a 80-95% chance of our kids having a heart problem. I just wanted to see if anyone else knew anything about this matter or not. Thanks

its a 50/50 chance. my brother has got a bad heart and had to have op on it and the doctors said there is a chance of him passing it down to his kids. but some problems arnt in the blood like my brothers is. both my other brothers boy and my daughter also have to be checked because its in the family. ask your docotr or a heart surger just to be sure.
