What is the orientation of the heart?
intrathoracic, in mediastinum, anterior to esophagus and posterior to the diaphragm
how are the AV valves anchored inside the heart what is the function of this anchoring?
The atrioventricular (AV) valves are anchored inside the heart by chordae tendineae, which are thin, strong cords connected to papillary muscles on the ventricular walls. This anchoring prevents the valves from inverting or prolapsing into the atria during ventricular contraction, ensuring that blood flows in the correct direction—from the atria to the ventricles, and not back. The coordinated action of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles is crucial for maintaining effective blood circulation and proper heart function.
What can cause diminished lung function if heart and diaphragm are fine and the Doctor said it is not asthma?

Does the heart lay inferior or superior to the diaphragm?
The heart lies superior to the diaphragm, between the two lungs.
Is the heart about the diaphragm?
The heart is located above the diaphragm, which is a muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. Specifically, the heart is situated in the thoracic cavity, slightly to the left of the midline, while the diaphragm lies below it, playing a crucial role in respiration. Thus, the heart is not "about" the diaphragm but rather positioned in relation to it.
