Hum...I don't think I'd say 「心臓に効け」to a medicine, but I'd understand what you mean by this pretty well... it's like... you're wishing/hoping the medicine will work on your heart. So I think maybe guys will say 「頼む、（心臓に）、効いてくれ！tanomu, kiite-kure!」and girls will say「お願いだから、（心臓に）、効いて！onegai-dakara, kiite!」. 効いてくれand 効いてare both the imperative forms in a sense, no?
