Neither one nor the other…
it would die instantly. .
Why? The human heart wouldn’t be able to pump blood to the head…
The right scenario is the worse one… a broken back, and the head and torso would be dragged along the ground under that weight, because the muscles and such wouldn’t be getting enough blood either…
Normal centaurs have a 90 degree bend in their spine making them incredibly fragile, 2 hearts, two ribcages, and two sets of lungs, both of which would be unable to supply a normal centaur with air under physical effort because of the long airway required to reach the larger lungs.
Mythical creatures are held together with magic so its obviously the second one is correct.
I bet you felt intelligent making this post didn’t you?
Not really. I don’t really know what your problem is. Other answers address the same point, just in different words.

why on earth would it have a human heart.

It would have 2 hearts

Because our heart is in our torso? The human part is the front one—the one where the heart is. But you can’t depict a centaur without a torso; after all, it would just have four legs…

But the Centaur has two torsos, it is also human in appearance, his internal organs have no need to be human-like
