In plain English
The government is not adding heart disease to the World Trade Center Health Program for 9/11 workers, after finding insufficient evidence connecting the exposure to that condition. If you were a 9/11 first responder with heart disease, review your private health insurance for cardiac coverage and talk to a lawyer about other benefits you might qualify for.
