Have you ever wondered, why you hold your hand in front of your chest, if you`re showing emotions, or singing perhaps? It`s because the heart, is the center of emotions and intelligence. The soul is in the brain-stem, while the brain is for higher thinking, but the heart, is where your true intelligence is. It senses also, the enviroment, in case someone is in emotional need, or in danger. It also heals you

Not sure what you mean by intelligence. Heart is a muscle that is pumping blood. It reacts to emotional stress, food, micronutrients and similar, but I cannot think of anything why it should be called "the center of our intelligence".

Why do you hold your hand over your chest when singing then, for example?

Or maybe it's because emotional states release hormones that affect blood pressure, heart rate, etc., and you feel those in your chest.

You are aware that people have received transplants, including some cases where it was a pig heart. In most cases the person involved lived long enough to show that they maintained the intelligence they had before surgery.

If the heart were the center of intelligence, shouldn't they have displayed that of the transplant donor?

It is like the middle ages all over again.​
More like ancient Egypt.
The Egyptians considered the heart the seat of intelligence as evidenced by mummification; the heart was separately mummified and returned to the body while the brain was extracted through the nostrils with a hook like assembly and discarded like trash.

Their tools for the trade as shown were known as brain hooks.

If I get an artificial heart does that make me a robot?

No, but you might inherit personality traits. Living with both.

Both what?

I don't think you understood me.

An artificial heart completely replaces a natural heart.

If I follow the OPs logic I would, after replacement, be an emotionless robot lacking intelligence.

There are already computers that would do better on a Turing test than a lot of posters here.

I think that's rather insulting to the middle ages. A 9th century peasant not knowing something that they can't know is pretty excusable. When knowing something is literally at our finger tips, 24/7, there's less of an excuse for that same level of ignorance.
