Depends on what 3♥ shows and cue bidding style.
If it's suit + non minimum then the answer is E, who needs little more than AKxxx, Axxx, xxx, x plus any other useful high card or an extra spade or heart, which if 3♥ is non minimum he's 99% certain to hold with worst case being a heart finesse.

Looking at my post #8 in ahydra's recent related thread ( http://www.bridgebas...hts-tournament/ ) this forum :
1S - 2NT!
3H! ( "good" 2nd suit, and shortness elsewhere ) - 3S ( waiting for more info )
4C! ( shortness ) - 4NT(RKC; the "good" 2nd suit should guarantee a Ctrl at least )
5C (0/3) - 5NT
6S ( no K's ) - p

I think you should still get there if you play regular Jacoby ( showing shortness, 3C! over 2NT! )

They should know what 3♥ shows. If this is a second suit, West should show his heart control with 4 ♥. East never got to know about this feature. If 3 ♥ showed a good suit or a control, East should bid more with the minors covered.
Kind Regards
