Time Lords may have two hearts, but Klingons have only one, eight-chambered heart (cf. TNG "Ethics"). See also the proverbs referencing a single heart:
tIqlIj Da'angnIS
You must show your heart. PK
tIqwIj Sa'angnIS
I must show you my heart. TKW
tIqDaq HoSna' tu'lu'
Real power is in the heart. TKW
["In this phrase, the heart stands for one's spirit or
principles." TKW 23]
Although there is this interesting bit from the paq'batlh (I don't know what the context is here):
ngIq tonSaw' lo' 'ej tIqDu' lel
In one single move, he removed the hearts (PB, paq'raD, canto 23)
