Peter I cannot say I have heard of an anxiety heart attack but Ihave heard of anxiety attacks that affect the heart. People pass out from there. Their level of anxiety is so high the body goes into overload and they pass out, it is almost like fear. They cannot face something extreme in their life or it has built up and off goes the anxiety alarm. It can also be caused from proper nutrition...

Most certainly, anxiety can provoke a myocardial infarction or anginal pain by accelerating the heart rate and increasing the oxygen demands of heart muscle.and by the release of epinephrine and nor-epinephrine.
