A heart parasite was featured prominently in the episode "In Which We Meet Mr. Jones". It wrapped itself around Mitchell Loeb's heart, giving him strained heart palpitations.
After the Fringe Team visits David Robert Jones in prison, he tells them how to kill the parasite in exchange for the words "Little Hill". Jones escapes prison shortly afterwards using Walter's teleportation device.
