A member asked:
What are the effects of dextrocardia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dextrocardia: Just that the heart is on the right rather than the left side of the chest and can be associated with situs inversus where organs in abdomen are also reversed. If any surgery is performed it will be important for locating the organ involved. Ecg will look different as will chest x-ray.
