Talk:Outline of cardiology

Delete ?
The draft hasn't been edited for over a year - should it be deleted ? DexDor (talk) 20:27, 28 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Nah. That would be a step backwards, and forces the issue to all or nothing. We should think incrementally: building the heading structure (skeleton) of an outline is a necessary phase of development. Having a skeleton in place is convenient. New editors probably won't know how to generate the heading structure via template, and may wind up doing it manually -- having it in place waiting for them saves them all that work. Besides, this draft is a reminder that an outline is needed and planned for this subject. The Transhumanist 19:41, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The discussion doesn't explain why outlines should be stored under the WikiProject's subpages. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:42, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Brief explanation of Wikipedia outlines
Outlines are a type of list article. Each outline is about the subject identified after "Outline of" in the title. "Outline" refers to the format of the article...

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). In Wikipedia outlines, the hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets.

Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure). They also serve as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 19:42, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * have placed under list since it does not seem to have a proper place on WikiProject_Medicine/Metrics please revert if anyone has a better idea, thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 20:50, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Missing information
“Torsades de pointes” bullet is incomplete. “A polymorphic arrhythmia that can be symptomatic and tends to resolve to a normal sinus rhythm. However, there is a concern” is the entire paragraph. I don’t know enough about it to edit it myself. 2601:249:1180:72D0:448E:8D9C:C269:9E0E (talk) 13:30, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Diagnostic Tests and Procedures
Needs a link and information for nuclear imaging in cardiology. This technically includes stress testing but is such a big topic that it would benefit from its own link. Stress testing can also be done w/o nuclear imaging. Phillyshell (talk) 04:33, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Anatomy section
Needs link to Aortic (left ventricle) and Pulmonic Valve (right ventricle) in Anatomy section Phillyshell (talk) 05:47, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
