Going to the heart patients here? (7)
I believe the answer is:
inwards
'going to the heart' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'patients here?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'patients here?' could be 'ward' (I've seen this before) and 'ward' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ins' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inwards that I've seen before include "Towards the interior" , "Towards the core" , "Centripetal" , "Where self-analysis points" , "Towards the middle" .)
