Even though the quality of the heart suit is nice it clearly isn't a suit worth playing with against a void. I think opening 1♥ is not dangerous (in the sense that we'd be left playing there), but I don't think it solves the problem anyway.

1♥-1♠
3♣-3♦
3♥-

And I'm lost from there. Maybe 4♦ and then 5♦ over 4♥, but I don't know.

True 1♥ is unlikely to be passed out.

I remember a recent thread http://www.bridgebas...-a-forcing-bid/ with a rather similar bidding sequence, where people argued the merits of passing a forcing bid, because game looked unlikely to partner.
