But see, the chest wall doesn't behave like that. It could easily accommodate the pressure of a crushed heart without deforming. Even if it was to deform, it'd shrink in a uniform manner than pull the front of the chest wall.

Maybe "artistic license" is at work here, but that's the primary reason why I did not suggest your idea.
