You should know that your husband is quite young and if he lows his blood glucose levels and follows a healthy lifestyle, he has good chances not to develop heart disease.
For now, if you want to check his baseline heart function, I would recommend you to have an ECG, Echocardiography and a stress test is done, if all the exams come back normal, then do not worry, just keep the levels of glucose low, follow a healthy lifestyle and your physician's recommendations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
