The "genetic cause" is a family tendency towards heart disease. All it means is that someone might have a higher risk of heart disease because one or both parents, or their parents, or their grand parents had heart disease and the risk is carried through to the younger generations. Environmental factors include air pollution, second hand cigarette smoke, dust from factories carried in the air and then breathed in; things like that.
