What Side Is Your Heart On?

Although most of us place our right hand on our left chest when we pledge allegiance to the flag,

we really should be placing it over the center of our chest, because that's where our
hearts sit.

Do you think your heart is on the left side of your chest? Most people think the same, but the truth is that your heart is located between your right and left lung. It means your heart is in middle of your chest, with a slight tilt towards the left.


Located in the front and middle of your chest, your heart is no bigger than the size of your clenched fist. A wall separates the left and right of your heart, and each of these sides has a small chamber called atrium. The chamber then leads into a large pumping chamber known as ventricle. Your heart has four chambers, called right ventricle and right atrium, and then left atrium and left ventricle.
