Don't worry.: rather, don't smoke, watch your cholesterol and have checked regularly, keep your weight in the "ideal" range with your BMI below 24, monitor and control your blood pressure and blood sugar as well as renal function studies yearly. Ask your doctor schedule carotid, renovascular and aortic ultrasounds in the next few years as a baseline. Oh, did I forget? EXERCISE regulary (3 -4 times weekly.
