Medical: Cardiology
This is from Colombia:
Descripción Ecocardiográfica
Corazón en levocardia con levoapex, Sitis solitus atrial con concordancia atrio ventricular y ventriculo arterial.
Although "levocardia" refers to the correct position of the heart, I don't think "levoapex" is a valid English cognate. I'm thinking it refers to the cardiac apex being in the normal position, or left. So, possibly "normal cardiac apex" or "left cardiac apex". Confirmation? Different opinion?
