Hyperdynamic precordium is a condition where the precordium (the area of the chest over the heart) moves too much (is hyper dynamic) due to some pathology of the heart. This problem can be hyperplasia of the ventricles, tachycardia, or some other heart problem.

Hyperdynamic precordium can also be due to Hyperthyroidism, and thus indicates an increased cardiac contractility, with increased Systolic Hypertension. It may also be due to aortic coarctation, and most other congenital heart malformations.
