I've searched BBO but there doesn't seem to be much info about this situation.
Does X show 4 hearts. What about higher intervention, presumably that requirement diminishes the higher you get ?
4c Major setting - is it any different under 5cM.

Double usually shows 4 hearts, but it may also be done on hands where he has values and there is just no good bid (eg. Ax xxx KQxxx xxx). Having said that, I'm just bidding 4H.

IMO 4 = 10, 4 = 8, 3N = 7, 3 = 6, Pass = 5.

System cards often have a box headed "Negative doubles to". Partnerships opt for any level from 2 to 7. Partnerships also seem to have different agreements as to whether a negative double promises 4+ s and to what level. As Wanoff implies many partnerships have no firm agreements and, for them, this should be an important discussion topic.

FWIW, IMO, a negative double shouldn't promise 4s, even at a low level. The message is that your hand is unsuitable for a game-force or a pass but you have no sensible bid.

We must show our hand that in spade has 4 honors for a suit as of 6 cards, in heart a just and also strong support for probable partner suit(=trump), in diamond values(=control) than excuding NT(=no stopper in club) and bidding at level with a light forceness 4 (=points in three suits) should show this nice hand.

X will normally show 4+ hearts.

I think 4, showing a strong hand with heart support is best.
