Yes it sounds natural, but what would the context for this sentence be? Normally, if you use the phrase "heart trembled", the situation would be very tense and extreme.

tremble means to shake - if you were worried about seeing the principal you heart would "pound" or if you were excited to see him in an amorous way it would "flutter"
