Swelling in left ankle and foot does it have something to do with the heart?

Hmmmmmm....: One sided swelling has a lower likely hood of being heart related. If the heart doesn't work right the effects will be of all downstream structures. There are one sided likely problems... Dvt and vascular flow interferences..... Come to mind. Many others exist...... See your doctor first......
