Chopping the heart into chunks before boiling is a great way to speed up the boil for later addition to salads and hot dishes. But if you need the heart to serve as a sliced bread, it is best to boil the whole heart.The fat layer, which is quite tough to remove from a raw heart, is almost completely boiled down - in any case, it is easiest to remove it at the end of cooking.
Keep in mind that pieces of heart will instantly wind up in air, so you need to store them in a decoction. The total shelf life in the refrigerator is 3 days.
