Dextrocardia
Dextrocardia is a congenital condition in which the heart is located on the right side of the chest, instead of the left. Sometimes it is accompanied by other variations in the position of the internal organs.
How does it show up? In many people it causes no discomfort and is discovered by chance; in other cases it may be associated with heart alterations that do cause symptoms.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when this variation is detected or when signs such as fatigue or difficulty breathing appear, especially in childhood.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, and in children the pediatric cardiologist together with the pediatrician, are the ones who evaluate dextrocardia and its possible relationship with other conditions. Discussing it with one of these professionals helps clarify its extent.
