How heriditary is a leaking heart valve?

Hi guys,

I’m just slightly worried about my family genetics.

If my father has been diagnosed with a leaking heart valve, how likely am I to have the same condition?

I’ve been for a check and at the minute my heart is fine.

But if anyone has anymore knowledge please let me know...

Are the chances high that I will develop this also?
