'''Dextrocardia''' refers to an anomaly in which the [[heart]] is located in the right [[hemithorax]]. The condition is intrinsic to the heart and it is not caused by extracardiac abnormalities.
Dextorocardia was decribed by Fabricious in 1606. Situs inversus with dextrocardia (totalis) was first described by Severinus in 1643.
