Genetics have nothing to do with survival of a bullet into or through the heart. The strongest, most athletic, muscular, longest living man will usually die from a gunshot to the heart. What helps survival is how bad the wound is - a small caliber bullet can lodge in the left ventricle wall or even enter into the chamber and people have survived - however any wound of the right ventricle, major artery or vein results in a quick bleed out or tamponade and death usually is the outcome. Getting medical help quickly also is a major factor. Empress Elizabeth of Austria lived long enough to walk to her ship, reach her state room and only when her girdle/corset was removed did she suddenly die (20 minutes later) from a stab wound to her heart. The pressure of the corset kept her alive.

What president lived with a bullet lodged near his heart from a dual in which he killed the other guy?
Alexander Hamilton was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr. Andrew Jackson had a duel with a man who was quicker with a pistol than he was,so Jackson let the other man shoot first and then took careful aim and killed the other guy. The other guy missed Jackson's heart because his coat lapel bloused up and disguised its exact location, but did not miss by much. The bullet was too close to the heart to be removed safely so Jackson kept it the rest of his life.
