Dr Who’s 50th anniversary urges doctors to find answer.
London: Being a Gallifreyan, Doctor Who has a binary vascular system, where the blood vessels lead to two hearts.
But can humans too have two hearts, possibly yes, according to a report in BBC.
Aside from conjoined twins, no human is born with two hearts. But in the case of extreme heart disease, called cardiomyopathy, rather than receiving a donor heart and removing yours, doctors can graft a new heart on to your own to help share the work.
This is more commonly known as a piggy-back heart.
