Is there a test to check for possible heart disease?


Im 39 years young and I never knew my father but I have been told he had heart disease by the age of 36 he died in his 70's but had numerios heart attacks in between time. My mother who just passed was 72 had emphysema but died of a sudden heart attack. Is there a test I can have to make sure Im not carrying any bad heart cells or something and when should i get one and by what kind of doctor? Who should I talk to? I have four children I worry about there hearts now.

An electrocardiogram or an echocardiogram, you'd see a cardiologist, and your family doctor can refer you.
yes go onto heartdiseases.com
my mom goes on their to check some times
There are plenty of tests that doctors can do: EKG, stress test, echocardiogram, cardiac catherization, can't remember them all. If you are really concerned and the doctor has reason to believe you need the tests, by all means have them. I have been checked by my doctor doing half of these tests and I have a clean bill of health. I was concerned about my heart since my dad had to have five-way bypass seven years ago.
Yes, I'm going through them right now, because of heart problems in my family. Blood tests, xrays, ultra-sound, ekg, stress test.
I'm praying for good results and I pray you have the same
Good Luck!
The most simple and non invasive test would be to monitor your blood pressure on a daily basis. Another test can be an EKG or cardiac enzymes that can show any cardiac damage.
