meaningless: Not a medical term. If someone told you that you have a spot on your heart, ask for clarification with medical terminology. We'd be glad to help decipher that if you need further assistance.

heart spot: It usually means someone who told you about a spot on your heart isn't a medical person. We don't use that terminology so can't tell you what they meant.
