What is the difference between 심장 and 마음?
Both mean 'heart' but, is it a synonym? I mean, can I use both regardless of the context?
(Sorry for my bad English).

As you know, the English word 'heart' has several meanings.
1. a hollow, pumplike organ of blood circulation, composed mainly of rhythmically contractile smooth muscle, located in the chest between the lungs and slightly to the left and consisting of four chambers. -> 심장 in Korean.
2. the center of the total personality, especially with reference to intuition, feeling, or emotion.
the center of emotion, especially as contrasted to the head as the center of the intellect -> 마음 in Korean.
3. the innermost or central part of anything. -> 핵심 in Korean
4. the breast or bosom -> 가슴 in Korean.
Thus, you must use appropriate word according to the context.
