The cardiac notch is the lateral deflection of the anterior border of the left lung. It is produced to accommodate the space taken up by the heart. It leaves a small anterior area of pericardium in direct contact with the sternum; this area is dull to percussion - the area of 'superficial cardiac dullness' - unlike the surrounding regions where overlying lung makes the percussion note relatively resonant.
On the mediastinal surface of the left lung it in continuity with the anterior margin of the cardiac impression.

My day has been fine thank you. I was sad to hear of Farrah's passing, I know she had been ill for a while but it's still said. I used to have a massive crush on her when she was in Charlies Angels. I didn't know about Jacko till I read this. I just Googled him and clicked news and the L.A. Times are reporting he was rushed to hospital by fire department paramedics. Who would call the fire brigade in the event of a suspected heart attack? Any way you look at it, it's going to be more cancelled dates in the UK. Not the luckiest of comeback tours it would seem. HOLY ****!!!!!!!!! Reports online are saying he's died EDIT: R.I.P. Michael.
