Word of the Day: Dextrocardia
Dextrocardia is a rare congenital condition where the heart is positioned on the right side of the chest. This neutral medical term, derived from Latin roots, typically presents no symptoms and is often discovered incidentally. While not dangerous on its own, it can sometimes be associated with other heart defects or genetic conditions requiring medical attention.
