That is actually not true. The heart is more central and a lot higher than people think. The reason people believe it is lower and on the left is because it's easiest to feel your heartbeat at that location do to the lower amount of organs absorbing the vibrations around the heart.

Why do you think CPR is done on the sternum? It's directly over the heart and therefore the compression actions force the heart to pump as well as contract the lungs.

And I don't know about you, but that arrow looks like it pretty much shot her straight in the heart. Or at the very least, in the Aorta.
