Homology,

Yes,human heart is considered as a homologous organ.

Now let me explain,

Homology is the structural similarity seen in many animals denoting the common ansistor.

Like : humans,bats and birds have fore limbs and are quite similar in structure.Which means that we,bats and even birds are evolved from a common ansistor which had this features.

Humans,horses, chimpanzee and even the mice that had stolen your cheese has a lung that is quite similar (four chambered) in structure.

So it can be said that heart is a homologous organ.

Additional : Analogy is the similarity of function in two or more than two different species.
It may not be similar in structure.
I.e. the wings of a dragonfly and the wings of a bird,both are used for flight but huge difference in structure.

That's it
Hope it helped (ヽ´ω`)
