      Not that I know of and I think it would cause big problems with the plumbing of your blood vessels.

      There are lots of variations in the heart structure though, including people who have their heart on the wrong side and the wrong way around!

      I’ve read once about a man who was born with two hearts in the 1800s. I’ve also heard about two other people, who were normally born with one heart but it didn’t work properly, so the doctors transplanted an extra heart to help the diseased heart recover.
