Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'heart' (the organ) with 'specialist' (a physician focused on a field): together they denote a doctor who specializes in heart-related diseases. This is a regular noun + noun compounding pattern common in English and many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Heart specialist comes from a simple image: a doctor who cares for the heart like a mechanic cares for an engine and only treats that part. So heart specialist means 'a doctor who finds and treats diseases of the heart'.
