Probably lots of reasons. Because people die of heart attacks, because people don't donate organs, because they can't find a match in the short window.
He eats them while the puppies and babies hearts after removing them from LIVE puppies and babies. You can't just eat a dead guy's heart and be satisfied... There's no work involved. If the guy is dead., what does he care if you eat his heart?
Now, try ripping the heart out of something living. Something defenseless and trusting. Go ahead. You do that. I'll wait here.

Remove from the list everyone whose lifestyle has damaged the heart sufficiently.
Cross off murder victims, especially if cardiac trauma is involved. Likewise automobile accidents.
Now, of the people you have left, scrap the majority who don't fill out their organ donor cards.
Of the hearts remaining, only some of them can be retrieved quickly enough for a transplant.
Damn, but this is a morbid exercise in probability.

Dick Cheney eats puppies and babies NOT dead people's hearts. (It's less satisfying when it's not a "live kill".)
