how is this different from the apex of the heart (apex cordis)? E.g.
http://www.tk.de/rochelexikon/pics/s02101.002-2.html or http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/apex+of+the+heart
Seem to suggest left ventricle.
SNOMED has apices for L+R ventricles.
Either way it seems the apex is usually the ventricle rather than any other region of the heart, at least according to easily searchable web resources and ontologies/terminologies.

Agree with Chris that we need to make this more clear. Met with Paul Schofield this morning while he is visiting Plan is to go through a set of terms, including this one, later in the week.
