I've had my bleeding heart vine (as a houseplant) since around May and it has done well until now. All of a sudden the leaves, starting with the ones nearest the base are wilting, then curling, then turning yellow, then turning brown at the tips. I know it's customary for bleeding heart vines to lose leaves at the end of the season, but it's the wrong time of year for that.

Not if it's a Clerodendrum thomsoniae. That is an evergreen tropical shrub/vine. It's hard to tell without pictures, but it sounds like it isn't getting enough light, or it might not be getting enough fertilizer--or maybe both!

I didn't think it could be grown as a houseplant

Clerodendrum, yes--with plenty of light--but Dicentra, no.

Bleeding hearts normally go dormant end of June. Yours is probably long overdue since it's been indoors.
