No. This diagram doesn't show how they got the heart to unravel like that. There's a layer or wrapping around the heart and internal connective tissues that holds the heart in its traditional state. I'd imagine if the got the muscles of a unrolled heart to contract it would just fold or bind at points. But definitely wouldn't pump anything.
