Probably much easier than using the heart attack gun! That thing did not have a very long range, and almost certainly did not have great accuracy, so its use would have been conspicuous. Sure, it's not easy to arrange to have an agent as a server or cook at some restaurant, but it surely is easier.
Another problem I have with the heart attack gun; why did they make it look like a gun? I agree that the assassin would have to be close to the target to use it, so making it look like an obvious gun risks somebody getting a glimpse of it and immediately raising an alarm. A more discrete shape would make infinitely more sense.
Indeed, why not make it more like a more discreet version of an epi pen? Like the ricin umbrella, but a bit more subtle.
