If the horse heart fails, the human heart might just be strong enough to keep the rest of the body alive as long as you don’t move much. Probably not a long term solution, but it’s better than nothing.
I am unsure whether centaurs have a joined or separate circulatory systems. Worst case - they're separate for horse & human body. But if they're joined, then I think a centaur may survive on 1 heart, as you've said.
Horse hearts are massive compared to human hearts. They would just die.
Or human part will be alive, and not the horse part.
Good lord, how big is that football if the picture on the right is supposed to be the size of a fist??
I assume they don't mean an American football, but still. Seems like on the right is a child's heart.
