I don't think it would have been a death sentence. If this program had been in place back then, when you were 66, I assume there would have been safeguards in place. There would be massive education to the public and warnings to get tested for heart disease. So you go to get tested and your doctor certifies your condition as "genetic". He then gives you a card to carry in your wallet. If you were to get a heart attack while out shopping, or wherever, that card would be like a coupon entitling you to one free bypass operation. See, there's no need to worry.
