Well found Paul,
There's a possibility that the DC may say 'heart disease' but I've had a few cases where it mentions another condition and 'heart failure' which isn't adequate for commemoration. 
I'd hold* off seeking the DC as 50/50 whether it would support commemoration. Up to you though.

The pre-war enlistment may also be a problem.
