Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body?
AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoEven if they were physically separated you’d want them to pump in sync, to maximize the pressure. So having them share electrical signals is just the optimal setup for two hearts.

you want to maximize flow, not pressure. maximizing pressure is a great way to die of stroke.

Not absolute pressure, but pressure per unit of work (i.e., efficiency).
