Where is the human heart?

It's about the lower left of the middle of the chest. The normal heart is located in the middle mediastinum, the upper margin is probably in the second intercostal space, and the lower margin is probably in the fifth intercostal space, and the strongest apical pulsation is located in the 0.5cm at the intersection of the fifth intercostal space and the left clavicle midline. The projection of the strongest apical pulsation on the body surface will also have corresponding changes. For example, if hypertension causes left ventricular enlargement, the apical pulsation will move downward to the left. But when normal people take the supine position.

The heart of a normal person is located in the middle mediastinum, probably at the lower left of the middle of the chest.

The normal heart is located in the middle mediastinum, the upper margin is about the second intercostal space, and the lower margin is about the fifth intercostal space, some of which are covered by lung tissue and are similar in size to human fists. In normal people, the strongest apical pulsation is at the internal test 0.5cm of the intersection of the fifth intercostal space and the left clavicle midline. If the heart is enlarged, the projection of the strongest apical pulsation on the body surface will also change accordingly. For example, if hypertension causes left ventricular enlargement, the apical pulsation will move to the left and lower. But when a normal person takes a supine position, the heart also moves upward. At present, a large tumor in the upper mediastinum will oppress the heart, causing the heart to move downward.
