Yes. You can get heart attack by fright. In fact, you commonly get such incidences in your clinical practice. So many old persons die of heart attack by hearing some bad news.

What is the difference between a heart attack and a broken heart?

Both are painful but if one is having a heart attack they should
be hospitalized immediately since a heart attack is a physical
malfunction of the heart that is life threatening whereas a broken
heart is more of a mental malady caused by disappointment in love.
For this there is no immediate remedy. Only time will mend a broken
heart.
