Laevocardia - what does this mean
Laevocardia is a congenital cardiac disorder in which the heart is located on the left side of the chest instead of the right. it is caused by a malformation of the septum that separates the left and right sides of the heart. this malformation can lead to a variety of complications, including reduced blood flow to the lungs, abnormal heart rhythms, and heart failure.
What happens during the disease - laevocardia
Laevocardia is a rare congenital heart disorder in which the aortic valve does not open properly, causing a decrease in blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. this leads to a decrease in oxygenated blood reaching the rest of the body, causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, and heart palpitations. over time, this can lead to an enlarged left ventricle, congestive heart failure, and other serious complications.
