Chest : With your family history and lipid profile you should be seeing a doc, be on a prudent diet and exercise program along with treatment of the lipids and any other risk factors you have. The chest pain from a year ago can be considered by your dr. In your full exam and if testing is appropriate, the study your doc feels is most appropriate for you should be recommended.
