If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Cardiovascular system disease and disorder templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Cardiovascular system disease and disorder templates]]</noinclude>
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Cardiovascular system symptoms and signs | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Cardiovascular system symptoms and signs | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Cardiology is concerned with the normal functionality of the heart and the deviation from a healthy heart. Many disorders involve the heart itself, but some are outside of the heart and in the vascular system. Collectively, the two are jointly termed the cardiovascular system, and diseases of one part tend to affect the other.
In vertebrates, the circulatory system is a system of organs that includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood which is circulated throughout the body. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It includes the cardiovascular system , or vascular system , that consists of the heart and blood vessels (from Greek kardia meaning heart , and Latin vascula meaning vessels ).
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cardiology, the branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the human heart. [1] The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology.
Cardiovascular physiology is the study of the cardiovascular system, specifically addressing the physiology of the heart ("cardio") and blood vessels ("vascular"). These subjects are sometimes addressed separately, under the names cardiac physiology and circulatory physiology .

In the cardiovascular system, the electrical impulse required for each heart beat is provided by the electrochemical gradient of each heart cell. Because the beating of the heart depends on the proper movement of ions across the surface membrane, cardiac ion channelopathies form a major group of heart diseases.
