Claire's weak heart is a symbol of her inability to love. Claire tells Eddie in her letter to him that she is all charm, and unable to love: her heart - her love - is weak. Claire's weak heart also keeps her careful, unable to fully participate in life. Her inability to love would most likely affect her similarly.
