His only significant previous medical history was the repair of a ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus as an infant. He took no prescribed or over-the-counter medications, had never smoked cigarettes, ETOH use: 2-3 drinks per week and pt mentions that he had a twin brother that died 3 years ago.
