Its not. The heart is located in the center of the thorax directly behind the sternum. the reason it is often though to be on the left hand side is that the left ventricle is considerably bigger than the right and so sits a little further to the left than the right does to the right.
The left side of the heart is bigger because it has to pump harder to get the oxygenated blood all the way around your body. The right side merely receives de-oxygenated (venous) blood.
