Brief Answer:
Unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. If the "gas" that you are referring to is carbon monoxide then heart problems are unusual. The commonest side-effects with this type of gas is headache, dizziness and breathing problems.
Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can come from boilers, gas fire, central heating systems, cookers and open fires.
I hope this answers your question adequately. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger
