Hello,
Tumor arising from heart itself are less common. So if one is having tumor somewhere else, then in all probabilities it's a secondary tumor. So it's likely that it's same brain tumor metastasize to heart. However, imaging investigations will confirm the findings. You may ct guided sampling if imaging is not helpful. All the best.
