What does this sentence mean? heart disease or stroke are exclusions


What does this sentence mean? heart disease or stroke are exclusions?
> Volunteers are needed for a research study looking at the effect of fats on vascular health in women. > Eligible women must be age 18-50, in good health, and overweight or carry extra weight in the midsection. > Diabetes, heart disease or stroke are exclusions. So I have a 3rd degree heart block would this mean I am not eligible of would it matter? The only symptom i have is a lower heart rate buts is not life threatening.
