Yes they do, we are proportional so unless you have some condition that affects your proportions, smaller people would have smaller hearts, up to a point. There would be an increase in organ size with body size until you reach a limit, where it doesn’t matter how much bigger you get the organs won’t get bigger.
Usually as a general rule your heart is a bit bigger than your hand/fist (not a tight fist). As you get older your heart size would increase, but so would your hand/fist size, so you can always use that as a rough measurement.
If you do loads of exercise your heart size might be bigger than that – as with exercise the heart grows slightly larger to cope with the workload.
Don’t worry daredevil your heart is big to meet the needs of your body. An interesting fact: people of african decent have bigger hearts than the normal range and nobody quite knows why.
