Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Dextrocardia: Dextrocardia is a condition that leaves the hearts tip pointing to the right, instead of the left. It is a condition, where the genes, essentially got confused, and built a mirror image of your heart in your chest. It's fairly uncommon, but the heart generally works fine. The main concern, would be to let your physician or potential emergency responders, know that your heart is reversed.
