A heartbeat sound I made, complete with some gurgling, blood-rushing sounds. Just uploaded a version without the gurgling, in case you prefer the way that sounds.
To make this, I took a kick-drum sample and a snare-drum sample, and made a loop of kick-snare, kick-snare, kick-snare, over and over. After that, I EQ'd out the more drum-like parts of each sample, added reverb to dull it, a chorus plugin and some compression to remove some of the drums' attack...basically processed the hell out of them.
To get the blood gurgling sound, I filled a water-bottle almost all the way full and turned it sideways, so I had a massive air-bubble floating around. I then tilted the bottle back and forth in front of my Blue Yeti USB condenser mic, so you could hear the air-bubble swishing. I had to be pretty gentle, because if you rock the horizontal bottle too much, the bubble moves too fast and makes a fake-sounding "gloomp."
When I was happy with it, I mixed the heartbeat sound and the gurgling sounds so they'd work well together. Both the sounds were in mono, so I used a free plugin called WOK MS-T on both of them to create a fake hard-panned stereo effect. I wanted it to sound like you'd been running, and were hearing the heartbeat in your ears. I think it turned out pretty cool.
