Can an aquired aortic stenosis then become congenital in the next generations?

i recently obtained my mother and maternal grand mother's death certificate ... my grand mother died at 65 years old from aortic stenosis as a result of rhematic fever... my mother ped away at 87 years on the certificate she had aortic stenosis mentioned along with hypertension and diabetes for approx 40 years... i myself at a coartation repaired at 2 years old and have a bicuspid valve as does my daughter although her coart was more severe and she was repaired at birth...do our congenital defects have any cause/source from the previous generations although i believe gran and mums stenosis were aquired?
