Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your heart is located in the front of your chest. It sits slightly behind and to the left of your sternum (breastbone).
Detailed explanation-2: -Your heart is roughly the size of a fist and sits in the middle of your chest, slightly to the left. It’s the muscle at the centre of your circulation system.
Detailed explanation-3: -The left ventricle is one of four chambers of the heart. It is located in the bottom left portion of the heart below the left atrium, separated by the mitral valve. As the heart contracts, blood eventually flows back into the left atrium, and then through the mitral valve, whereupon it next enters the left ventricle.
