In a very simple answer: it will not be able to function. The heart functions like a double pump; generates and disperses its own impulses; its cells are interconnected; is flexible (expands and contracts, forcing the blood into the arteries - creates blood pressure). The heart is a uniquely structured organ to fullfill all these functions. Bone tissue is not structured for those functions.
