:( Generally we have heart on left side. But I read that one person have heart on right side. He is not eligible for selection in defense service and in police. He was rejected because his heart is on right side of chest. Is it abnormality? He is quite healthy and have not any health problem.

I think its abnormality and I really doubt how his body is functioning properly. I mean how his whole body is functioning as there is relation of our system with the location. Imagine how his arteries and nerve have the routes towards brain his everything may be different than a normal human being. :blink:

Not really. There is not a lot of changes in his organ system. It will remain the same. Arteries and nerves are on both sides. So no changes in them too...

And what about the the arteries like aorta which is connected to heart and plays major role in blood circulation. :)

Aorta is like the main stem of the plant / tree. Like stem divides into branches, aorta also divides into right and left branches.

Armed forces are particular about physical standards and uniformity. Even if one is quite healthy, shorter or greater height or weight may disqualify. Heart at wrong place is clearly a departure from norm. I am not aware of exact norms of medical examination fro recruitment. But whatever the rules, medical board will strictly adhere to. If an exception is made, it will be decided at highest level.

yes it is right that a person must be fulfill all condition to select in army. But in this case the person in question have not any fault. I think army norms are also silent for the location of heart.
