Chest deformation – effects of chest deformation on the heart

Description:

Pectus excavatum is an anomaly of the anterior chest wall where the front chest bone, which is called the sternum, is sunken inside. This is a relatively common anomaly in the general population and it can sometimes appear during early childhood and become more important later on in life. Dr Alessandro Giardini, a top paediatric cardiologist, explains the effects chest deformations can have on the heart and how it can be treated.
