Low risk: You sound like a low risk person, make sure cholesterol is in the normal range. As you get older the aging process and arteriosclerosis may happen. Right now what you can do is maintain the risk low.

Why even questioned?: At age 29, non-smoker, and no family history of heart disease, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than a heart attack. Nonetheless you should consider getting a blood lipid panel done sometime even though the risk is very low.

No: As you describe, you have no risk factors for premature heart disease, particularly major ones like family history, blood pressure issues, cholesterol issues, weight issues, smoking issues. You are low risk. The more important question may be why the great concern on your part?
