normal tonicity

This is kind of old fashioned and non-evidence based description of the cardiac silhouette. It basically means that the heart looks non-slaggy, having a healthy muscle tone.
I doubt if there is a true and common English equivalent, but remaining on the descriptive level you could render this as a "heart of normal size and normal tone".
