Dextroposition of the heart definition - medical term
The heart is displaced to the right (from
its usual location in the left chest). There is no anatomic alteration in the heart
itself, just in its location. Dextroposition occurs when the contents of the left
side of the chest shove the heart to the right or when the contents of the right
chest are reduced (for example, by collapse of the right lung) and the heart moves
toward the sparsely occupied space on the right.
