The weight of the human heart typically ranges from about 250 to 350 grams. Given that the average adult body weight is around 70 kilograms (70,000 grams), the ratio of heart weight to total body weight is approximately 1:200 to 1:280. This means the heart constitutes about 0.3% to 0.4% of the total body weight.
