Narrative:

Flight departed on time (XA35Z) from bwi headed for den. Approximately 100 NM east of cmh (XB15Z), we got a call from the first flight attendant, that a passenger might be having a hear attack. She requested the aid of a medical doctor. I told the flight attendant that we could divert if necessary and to keep us advised. The passenger was put on oxygen, blood pressure taken (emergency medical kit was opened), and the aed was opened, but not used. The doctor thought it was best to divert, so we diverted into cmh. We made an overweight landing (147000 pounds). The paramedics were waiting as we parked, assisted and removed the passenger. He left sitting up in an aisle chair. Dispatch was notified. Maintenance was notified of the appropriate write-ups including the overweight landing. Maintenance cleared the aircraft. We received a new release from dispatch and continued onto den without incident.
