Thanks for reaching out about Fezbomb. Topical flea medications are probably not recommended with heart condition. Has the heart condition been diagnosed? A flea comb and treatment of the environment would probably work best. Treating all other pets in the house is necessary. Vacuum and clean bedding often to decrease re-infection. A veterinary visit is recommended for a consultation. Good luck.
