See attention: At 4o, you are at risk just because of being male. I would at least advice you to go to your pcp and have an egd. And if you smoke, or are diabetic, you may need an echo and or a stress test. If you have a strong family history i.e. Dad in 40's or mom in 50's with heart problems than your risk is high. Also have lipids checked when you go. Better safe than sorry.
