I’ve heard that a Cheetahs heart is like a nuclear power reactor compared to other mammals including humans. Can someone explain why or how?

Our heart is likely stronger than theirs. They’re muscles are significantly more efficient and hold more energy, but they need a large amount of time before they recharge. A decent runner could complete a marathon before the cheetah made it a few miles.
