It's my understanding that (read: I'm no MD, but) Viagra was originally formulated to reduce high blood pressure by causing the walls of blood vessels to relax allowing greater blood flow. It was only moderately successful at this, and while it had very few side-effects, one was...well...what it's known best for now.
I think that any negative effect from these medications on those with heart conditions would probably arise from the, um, associated activity, rather than the drugs themselves.
