Adequately pressurized doesnt seem like a problem here, over pressurization does seem like an issue, the body is very good at self regulation.

If you had 2 hearts, i can imagine each heart only needing to work half as hard to keep a person alive, except for times when the blood vessels themselves become “unnaturally” over pressurized, such as the case of regularly high blood pressure, then both hearts have to work harder, regardless of how many hearts you have.

I dont theoretically see an issue with 2 hearts
