Heart is gonna be extremely lean.  I don't like adding just pork fat (bad experiences with spoiling beef soot).   I would do a 50 / 50 mix of pork shoulder or ground pork (high fat content) with the heart.  Grind them twice...once in course and the next with a fine plate. 

Whatever you do, you should follow up with how it turned out.  I would be curious to know.
