Not necessarily: Situs inversus simply means that the internal organs are arranged in a mirror image pattern compared to most individuals. In isolation, there is nothing to generate concern. Situs inversus can be associated with other medical conditions, such as congenital heart disease, in which case there is are increased risks.
