The precordium refers to which part of the chest?

Explanation:
The precordium is the area of the chest wall that lies in front of the heart. This anterior portion of the chest over the heart is where you listen for heart sounds and where precordial ECG leads are placed. It does not include the back (posterior chest), the sides (lateral chest), or the upper abdomen below the chest, so the correct region is the front of the chest.
