Feeding ox heart to discus is not to be recommended. Compared to natural live foods, it is richer in saturated fats, which the discus do not completely digest. This leads to digestive upsets and health problems later on. Research has shown that in nature, discus feed mainly on vegetation and only feed on animal matter after the rains when live foods become more abundant. Ox heart accelerates fish growth but also contributes to fat accumulation in the organs, especially the liver, because the fish don't expend energy foraging for food or evading predators. Hence, the excess calories are stored. In the discus that I autopsied in the 70s, liver failure was a common cause of death, as were ulcerations in the gut due to heavy infestations of parasites.
