And, in fact, the GP may not actually be interested that much in whether you actually really had any (clinical) *heart* trouble. After all, quite a few people will list their esophageal burns or intercostal nerve irritations (which is NOT a problem !). What a GP may be after is likely your internal model of your state of health... Large swathes of Primary Care have needs way different from the more restricted areas of health management.
