Is Carotid Artery Dissection hereditary?
Here you can see if Carotid Artery Dissection can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Carotid Artery Dissection or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
I GUESS IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THE GENES. I HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED FOR ANY GENETIC COMPONENTS, BUT DEFINITELY COULD HAVE ONE. I AM UNAWARE OF ANYBODY IN MY FAMILY HAVING AND OF THOSE SYNDROMES.

Not to my knowledge and am told by doctors it isn't either.

There are definitely certain genetic conditions where the integrity of the arteries, among other tissues is affected. So if you have one of these conditions (and they are serious enough you will have other issues and you will know it) where dissection is a more likely event. An example of this is Marfan's Syndrome. However most people do not have any known preexisting condition that predisposes to dissection.

It Can be But certainly doesnt NEED to be Hereditary... Your SMOKING and Poor eating habits certainly can play a roll ... There are also Genetic Markers that are well known for causing Anuerysms and or Dissections in familial groups examples include Marfans, Loey dietz just to mention 2 but there are numerous others
