Congenital heart disease, idiopathic blood pressure, and hyperlipidemia are hereditary?

Ask
Hello doctor! I have congenital heart disease (atrial septal defect of oval hole, diameter of 12mm transesophageal ultrasound without intervention) and essential hypertension, sinus tachycardia with right bundle branch block with increased blood fat. That problem caused my eyesight to be affected. Currently, I am taking medication for heart and eye treatment at a specialist hospital every day. The doctor asked me, I have such a disease, will my children have the same diseases as me? Thank you doctor!
