Dextrocardia (from Latin dextro, meaning "right hand side," and Greek kardia, meaning "heart") is a rare congenital condition in which the apex of the heart is located on the right side of the body, rather than the more typical placement towards the left.[1] There are two main types of dextrocardia: dextrocardia of embryonic arrest (also known as isolated dextrocardia)[citation needed] and dextrocardia situs inversus. Dextrocardia situs inversus is further divided.
