Recorded after a jaunt on my exercise bike. There’s a short breath hold starting at 29 seconds, because I was curious how my heart would react while it was already racing.
Heartbeat of a female beating kinda fast, drinking coffee Weird racing and pausing after 3:00 Sitting and smoking, then stood up and did pushes and stretches. Irregularities in rhythm constantly changing

Hello,
Thanks for the continued interest,
I should just mention that the inbox is located at the top of this tumblr, labelled
=> Call Post for Cardio Community <=
I just also need to make it clear that I do not intend to hurt anyone at all. Thats not what this is about.
What this is about, is to let those who had hardships in a community that was supposed to be caring about each other, (that somehow ended up in a complete mess where the veterans/newbies alike are becoming absolutely disgusting for their own pleasure, )have their voices heard.
So, if this is you, speak up (if you want to of course), because I - personally - want to see an end to this disgrace.
Hello aunt scripty, this may be a really dumb question because it may or may not exist, but has there been a case of anyone that lived with two hearts? If so how do you think it would work? How would it work during CPR/etc? Would having two hearts hinder anyone? Would it pump too much blood because of two hearts!? (Doctor Who, amirite?) Haha... nope, jk, as much as I'm a fan, I'm just asking out of pure curiosity.
Okay, this ask is really, really cool. Thank you for this!
So there are two ways this comes into being.
One is a birth defect. The only report I was able to find of someone being born with two hearts is a guy by the name of George Lippert, who also had three legs. (The third leg had 6 toes, for a total of 16. The things I have learned for making this blog.) At autopsy it was discovered that he had two hearts as well, which…. Sure! That said, this was all in the 19th and very early 20th centuries, so we have no idea if a) it was true or one final prank/an attempt to make some cash by his family or doctors; b) the second heart worked or, like the third leg, if it was just…. there and useless. It was never studied or even discovered in vivo, so we don’t know how it worked.
It’s likely that he basically absorbed his twin in the womb but was left with some, well, leftovers. This is called a parasitic twin.
The other thing I’ve heard of regarding a human with two hearts is… adding a second heart.
There are two types of transplants: orthotopic transplants, in which an organ is straight-up removed and replaced, and a heterotropic transplant, in which a weak-but-still-functioning organ is augmented by adding in an extra. Sometimes this is done with kidneys, but occasionally, we graft a second heart into a human and send them back into the wild.
So there was a phenomenal case of a guy showing up to an Italian ER in cardiogenic shock from his two hearts having conflicting rhythm. He coded, got zapped, got a new pacemaker, and left the hospital. Dude was apparently 71, which is kind of badass: 71, two hearts, and death can’t touch him. This guy is clearly an action hero in the making.
Sometimes, the person recovers enough not to need their second heart anymore.
Hannah Clark is a teenager in South Wales who had serious cardiac complications when she was just a baby, had a second heart grafted in, and then had it removed when she was 16. She was suffering immune complications from the grafted tissue, and her native heart had had the time to grow strong enough to carry her itself. She’s the first person in the UK to have a transplant reversed.
In the heterotropic grafts, it seems like what happens is that the transplanted heart’s rhythm is basically paired to the native heart’s, so that one almost paces the other.
As for CPR, it’s unaffected by the number of hearts. Like our Italian man, your character might run into trouble if the two hearts beat at different rates.
This is an area of fiction where you can kind of make up what you want, because the two hearts idea functionally breaks the Rule of Reality. Just remember that if they were born with two hearts, they have to work together long enough and well enough to get that character out of the womb and into the world and raised to (whatever age they’re at), so however the system works at baseline, it has to work (at least until it goes wrong).

What is that weird Heartbeat pattern for the first minute or so? I hear a lot of pauses followed by a chain of rapid heartbeats. 1:45 Chain smoking for the first time since before New Years! Heartbeat speeds up and I start working out while smoking. Wild crazy irregular heartbeat.
Been hanging out over at Shyama’s Cardiophile Discord server and we found out some interesting stuff about how the heart and lungs all fit together. Slightly long-ish post, so to save your dashboards,
It started out with this YouTube video about interpreting and examining Chest Xrays which are pretty cool because in basically all of them you can see the person’s heart chilling right in the middle
But as I was watching this video, I noticed that it seemed like the heart should be basically overlapping the left lung, but none of us could remember lungs looking particularly asymmetrical.
I guess we just never really paid attention, though, because they definitely are different.
Unlike the right lung, the left lung has only two lobes instead of
three, the upper and the lower. It is divided by a deep oblique fissure.
With the heart close to the left lung, it partly compresses the
anterior border of the left lung and so makes it comparatively smaller
than the right lung. … Regarding its size, even though it is a bit longer,
it is still smaller than the right lung because of the heart occupying
space.
The heart messes with the layout even down to the structure of the left lung there. There’s even a handy lung comparison chart.
So yeah that was kinda neat to find out. Apparently the lungs aren’t symmetrical at all, things are cramped, and the heart hogs all the space it can for itself.
Makes me wonder some stuff though. Like what does an enlarged heart do to the poor left lung over there? Or if you fill your lungs up full, would your heart squish a little air out of them as it beat?
Possible and apparently it actually happens sometimes. Funny I run into this post now, in about 12 hours my queue should spit out a very relevant reblog.
