A member asked:
What are some possibilities of a heart located more to the right, but all chambers, blood flow and no other abnormalities are detected? 18wk
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dextrocardia....: when the heart is oriented to the right instead of the normal orientation to the left, it is called Dextrocardia. Nothing needs to be done, but if you need an ECG done for chest pain for example, you need to tell them so they can put the leads on the right side of your chest instead of the left.
