Ok: Heart disease is a very broad term. Ischemic heart disease: for someone your age It is basically impossible to have it since the pathophysiology requires years to evolve. Hypertensive heart disease: you have to suffer from hypertension and also requires time to progress. If you had palpitations while exercising, I would recommend an outpt monitor to see if your palps are related to arrhythmias
