Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body?

You’d also have to solve the problems of them working with each other instead of against each other.
What happens to your blood pressure? Do they beat at the same time then how do you mitigate the pressure spike. You now have twice the capacity your blood vessels are meant to handle.
If they don’t beat at the same time how do you make sure blood does not just go back and forth between the hearts, but actually does something useful?

If they’re in series the pressure will increase, if they’re in parallel the flow would increase. Just have a pacemaker organ connected to both to time the pumps. You could reduce blood pressure but increase the amount of blood flowing, therefore less wear and tear on the hearts, arteries, organs, etc.
