What he is probably saying is that there is no medical proof you caught it at work as opposed to off work contact [if it were assumed to be work related, most of the work force would be off during part of the year with the flu or colds] and that it would cause any type of heart problems [irregular beats are not from relatively minor diseases such as the flu].
