I think you are mis-understanding what heartbeats are for. See the 
'Heartbeats' section in
https://www.rabbitmq.com/reliability.html#connection-failures

i.e. the purpose of heartbeats is to detect and prevent tcp-level 
connection failure. So they are quite the opposite of dropping inactive 
connections. If that is what you want to do then you'll have to 
implement the logic for that yourself in your application.
