Heartburn has got nothing to do any heart related problem. It is a situation, where the stomach acid is pushed out into the esophagus, which is the main reason behind the burning sensation in the upper abdomen, or in the region below the breast bone. Heartburn occurs when the esophageal sphincter, fails to close properly, allowing the acids to flow backwards. The situation is different from a typical heart attack and occurs after consuming too much spicy or oily food. It is easily treated with the help of an antacid and is rarely accompanied by cold sweat or pain in the jaws or neck or arms, which is a sign of heart attack.  Heartburn can be identified by a burning sensation in the breast, while lying down or exercising after a meal. Sometimes you might taste an acidic liquid behind the throat and  have difficulty swallowing  foods.
