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.

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.
Well, I figured that a platypus doesn’t have a separate system for the duck part and another one for the beaver part.
They also produce both eggs & milk, thus they can be enslaved for infinite supply of omelette.
Just add sugar and wheat to make some cake.
