We used to call babies born with some heart defects 'blue babies' but I've not heard the phrase 'blue heart' in a medical sense.

Could it be that the heart had stopped or was starved of blood?

As far as I'm aware the exact term does not exist medically. If a patients skin and mucous membranes are seen to be cyanosed they can be referred to as blue.

I suppose it could be an informal term for cyanotic heart disease.
