Might there be hearts dropped elsewhere in your world? There has to be less than 10 anywhere in the world before a heart statue will cough anything up at all, then lower, local limits apply: http://terraria.wiki.gg/Statue#Spawn_limits
For arena healing, you can use mob statues to generate heart drops faster by killing lots of these little monsters (provided you're not at full health). Mana drops too, if needed.

As ZeroGravitas said, there's a limit on how many hearts can exist in a world.
There is also a limit to how often a heart statue can produce a heart. I think it's one heart every 10 seconds. So even if you connect it to a 1 second timer, it's not going to produce more hearts. Linking more than one statue to the same timer will also not work; only one statue at a time will produce a heart.
You can help produce more hearts by having multiple statues linked to separate timers, but the world/local limit still applies. 1.3 also further restricted/nerfed the number of hearts available from statues, though I'm not too sure of the details.

The hard limit for hearts is 3 hearts within 18.75 blocks, 6 within 50 blocks, and 10 for the entire world. So if you say killed off a boss that drops a lot of hearts (BoC, EoW, Destroyer, WoF) and didn't pick up all the hearts than they can easily cap out the limit and produce nothing else. I honestly find it much easier to wire together 3 (at max) heart statues and have them keyed to a couple pressure plates, one on each side. That way you can land and run across for a quick heal from any direction.

It used to be that each tile a statue occupied served as an individual trigger point with individual cooldowns, so you could get up to six hearts/mana stars/slimes/etc out of a single statue, with three per timer activation. 1.3 changed it so that the entire statue is just a single activation point, limiting you to one activation per cooldown period.
