A condition where the heart drops or sags downward from its normal position, sometimes causing functional impairment.
From Greek 'kardia' (heart) + 'ptosis' (falling, drooping). This anatomical term describes a positional cardiac abnormality.
Cardioptosis is like when a bridge sags—if the heart literally falls from its proper position, it can kink blood vessels and cause problems, which is why posture and core strength matter more than you'd think.
