The apex of the heart is the lowest superficial part of the heart.

It is directed downward, forward, and to the left, and is overlapped by the left lung and pleura.

External anatomy

It lies behind the fifth left intercostal space, 8 to 9 cm from the mid-sternal line, slightly medial to the midclavicular line.

Alternately, it can be found about 4 cm below and 2 cm to the medial side of the left mammary papilla.

Changes in electrical activation modify the orientation of left ventricular flow momentum: novel observations using echocardiographic particle image velocimetry.

Pedrizzetti G1, Martiniello AR2, Bianchi V2, D'Onofrio A2, Caso P2, Tonti G3.
European heart journal cardiovascular Imaging.Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging.2016 Feb;17(2):203-9. doi: 10.1093/ehjci/jev137. Epub 2015 Jun 9.
AIMS: Changes in electrical activation sequence are known to affect the timing of cardiac mechanical events. We aim to demonstrate that these also modify global properties of the intraventricular blood flow pattern. We also explore whether such global changes present a relationship with clinical out

Apical traction: a novel visual echocardiographic parameter to predict survival in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

AIMS: In some pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients, we noted a motion pattern where the right ventricular (RV) apex is pulled towards to left ventricle (LV) during systole, caused by traction from the LV ('apical traction', AT). Herein, we characterize patients with AT to investigate its prognostic

64Cu-DOTA as a surrogate positron analog of Gd-DOTA for cardiac fibrosis detection with PET: pharmacokinetic study in a rat model of chronic MI.
