Generally, no. There are rare cases when the heart appears on the wrong side of the body, but in the vast majority of cases all human hearts are on the left (although the actual position of the heart is fairly central, it lies obliquely to the left with the ventricles on that side).
Dextrocardia is a rare condition in which the heart is on the right side. There is also a condition called situs inversuswhere all the organs in the body are switched from one side to another.
Dextrocardia refers to the heart being situated on the right side of the body. Dextrocardia Situs Inversus refers to the heart being a mirror image situated on the right side. For all visceral organs to be mirrored, the correct term is Dextrocardia Situs Inversus Totalis. Dextrocardia is believed to occur in approximately 1 in 12,019 people, while one of 30 of these will have Situs Inversus. Totalis occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 of Dextrocardia Situs Inversus. Kartagener's Syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 25 of Totalis. This disorder affects the sinus and bronchial cilia causing constant sinus and bronchial symptoms that medication can not rectify. With Kartagener's both are usually present all year rather than being seasonal. Although statistically people with Dextrocardia Situs Inversus do not have any medical problems from the disorder, some are prone to a number of bowel, esophagus, bronchial and cardiac problems. Some of these conditions can be life threatening if left unchecked. ECG leads must be placed in reversed positions on a person with Dextrocardia. In addition, when defibrillating someone with dextrocardia, the pads should be placed in reverse positions. That is, instead of upper right and lower left, pads should be placed upper left and lower right. "Technical dextrocardia" refers to the apparent presentation of dextrocardia caused usually by inadvertently swapping the limb leads on a 12 lead ECG. Usually this would show as an extreme axis deviation.
The heart on the right side is called dextrocardia. Isolated dextrocardia is rare and can be found in syndromes (e.g. Kaartagener's syndrome) where multiple organs are found on the opposite side.
No. The human heart is located on the left hand side of the body. Unless the human is born with a deformity, the human heart will always be situated on the left hand side of the body.
Yes it can, there's is a condition called Dextrocardia that makes the heart on the right side. Situs inversus is also another conditions where all organs mirror their normal positions.
Yes it can but it is very rare
The human heart (whether male or female) - is situated slightly left of the sternum (breast bone) - as seen from the patient's point of view.
Aorta tops the heart, but if you are looking for the elements of the heart itself that are situated higher but IN the heart, then it's left atrium and right atrium.
Yes the right and left Auricle are both parts of the heart!!!
The heart has four chambers: the left ventricle, the left atrium, the right ventricle, and the right atrium.
The heart is situated in the mediastinum, which is a space between the lungs in the approximate center of your chest behind your breastbone. The heart is actually located more to the left, though, and so the reason you'll feel it beat harder on the left side is because that's where it is. There are, however, congenital birth defects in which the heart is found on the right side of the chest. This is a rare case and the average human will have his/her heart situated more toward the left.

It is right on the banks of the St. Lawrence
Their character. They have love within them. They always follow their heart and do what they feel is right.
The four chambers of the human heart are the left and right ventricles and the left and right atria (singular- atrium).
The right atrium is a region of the heart. In a human, it is on the top right side of the heart.
Yes, it is entirely possible. There is a very small percentage of individuals who's organs are entirely reversed, putting the heart on the right side and the liver on the left.
Yes the right and left Auricle are both parts of the heart!!!
The left atrium and right atrium receive blood coming into the heart.
Because the pressure on the left side of human heart is higher than the right side of human heart.
There are four chambers in the human heart: the left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium, and the right atrium.
