This is a connection setting and does to directly contribute to the
sending or receiving of messages. The heartbeat will keep the connection
alive if a network device causes timeouts. If will also help peers to
detect broken connections faster. See

I don't think that is relevant.

I would suggest that you study the tutorial examples and the C♯
translations:

https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-tutorials/tree/master/dotnet

If you still have questions afterwards then please ask.
