No. Multiple sclerosis affects the central nervous system, it does not affect the peripheral nervous system, nor does it affect the autonomic nervous system. Thus, heart function is unaffected by MS.

Heart function is definitely affected by MS. There are BP changes [orthotstatic hypotension] Heart Rate changes and ECG variations are noted in PWMS [persons with MS] the Autonomic Nervous system is very much influenced: bladder/blower problems, sexual dysfunction, GI disturbances,olfactory loss, Dysfunction of the ANS causes significant decline in performance in MS persons.
