Genetic Risk, Testing for Heart Disease

My 60-year-old brother recently died of a massive heart attack. He seemed healthy. He was not overweight, he exercised daily and ate well, he took his cholesterol medication and he saw his doctor regularly. Others in my family have died of sudden heart attacks. Is there any genetic test that I (and my siblings) should undergo to see if we are at risk for sudden heart attack?
