A congenital condition in which the apex of the heart is towards the right of the body instead of the left.<\/p>\n
Condition in which the heart is positioned toward the right side of the chest. This may be a congenital defect, sometimes accompanied by reversal of the arrangement of other body parts (transposition), or it may be caused by disease.<\/p>\n
An abnormal condition in which the heart lies on the right side of the chest rather than the left. The bottom of the heart points to the right instead of the left. In some cases, the abdominal organs also lie on opposite sides. In others, the organs remain in their normal positions. Dextrocardia is a congenital condition (present at birth), and, despite its abnormal position, the heart is able to function normally.<\/p>\n
A congenital defect in which the position of the heart is a mirror image of its normal position, with the apex of the ventricles pointing to the right. It may be associated with other congenital defects and is often combined with situs invertus, in which the appendix and liver lie on the left side of the abdomen and the stomach lies on the right side. Isolated dextrocardia produces no adverse effects.<\/p>\n
A condition in which a person’s heart is situated on the right of the chest in a mirror image of its usual position. This may be associated with similar inversion of the abdominal organs situs inversus.<\/p>\n
The condition of having the heart on the right side of the body.<\/p>\n
Dextrocardia is an uncommon congenital anomaly where the heart is located within the right side of the chest and faces towards the right, in contrast to its usual position on the left side. In some instances, the heart may also exhibit structural abnormalities. Furthermore, this condition can be accompanied by a reversal in the positioning of abdominal organs, such as the liver being situated on the left side and the stomach on the right side. Despite ongoing research, the exact cause of dextrocardia remains unknown.<\/p>\n
In most cases, no medical intervention is required for dextrocardia unless there are accompanying structural abnormalities in the heart. If such malformations are present, surgical correction may be recommended as a treatment option.<\/p>\n
A birth condition where the heart is situated on the right side of the chest, rather than its usual location slightly to the left.<\/p>\n
