The key is whether or not the heart attack was 'arising out of employment/in the course of employment'.
In plainer language, did his work 'cause' the heart attack?

However, dependent on the state, it is quite possible that the WC laws will indicate that coverage may be extended when work duties, or even work environment, exacerbates or accelerates an existing injury or illness.
