The heart doesn't ever get tired. It's a cardiac muscle, which allows that. It can slow down, pretty much the closest thing to resting, but when it stops, you have died. The heart also stops for a fraction of a second when you sneeze, and probably something else, although I don't know it.

no if it did you could you breath, it tires out when you run thats why you breath hard and when older people have heart attacks thats cause arterys clog blood pumps slower and the heart gets tired.

No, it doesn't rest, slows when you are sleeping, but when it gets weak then you can have a heart attack, or just die.
