Answers:
This is called situs inversus!. However, the heart itself is neither on the right or the left!. It is perfectly in the middle of the chest!. It can be pointing in the opposite direction, though!. Usually if this is true of the heart it is true of the other internal organs as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
