Dextroversion treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Cardiac dextroversion describes an abnormal position of the heart, which is displaced and rotated toward the right side of the chest while preserving certain internal relationships. It may occur in isolation or accompany other heart abnormalities.

Which specialist treats it? Its evaluation falls to the cardiologist and the pediatric cardiologist, and in childhood the pediatrician often takes part in the initial assessment.

How it is detected: It is frequently identified through heart imaging studies performed for other reasons.

When to seek care? If there is suspicion of an unusual heart position or structure, or symptoms such as fatigue or difficulty breathing, it is wise to raise it with a heart specialist to determine whether further studies are needed.
