The heart sits directly in the middle of the chest. However it is tilted to the left.

It does not sit in the L thoracic cavity as commonly thought, i.e. R palm on L chest when saying the pledge of allegiance. In actuality one should actually press the hand in the center of the chest onto the sternum and tilt the hand to the left to say the pledge of the allegiance if aiming to put ones hand on their heart <3
