As for the heart condition your article says it best...
While I don't know what the heart condition is, they wouldn't clear him if it was something like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which is associated with sudden death. So getting medical clearance indicates he doesn't have a potentially life threatening heart condition, but it doesn't mean his heart condition won't affect him. It's difficult to judge without knowing more information.
The part that worries me is what you quoted from his agent, "Because of privacy issues we are not allowed to comment specifically."
That's a lie. First, Sweat's agent isn't bound by the privacy provisions of HIPAA because they don't apply to him. Two, even if HIPAA did apply to Sweat's agent he can authorize his agent to say anything to anyone at anytime about his medical history. Obviously, his agent is involved in a misinformation campaign. Why?
