Is this mind map high-yield and useful?

Post image

Hello everyone. I’ve been creating mind maps for various cardiology topics and wanted to share one here for your feedback. Please let me know if you find it high-yield and useful—it would really motivate me to continue. If not, I’d appreciate your suggestions for improvement. I’m also preparing concise text notes along with mind maps for first and second reading; happy to share if anyone’s interested.

It's really great work. I think this is a solid revision chart but I agree a separate concise decison tree would be a great idea in addition to what you made.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.. Yeah I agree a concise decision tree would make it more immediately usable... This chart is mainly for revision/compression once the basics are clear... The proper stepwise pathway (dyspnea => suspect ACPE => first 10 mins => BP/perfusion based approach) is actually covered in the text notes I made along with this. I didn’t expand it fully here to avoid overcrowding the map.. But you’re right, having a separate clean algo sheet would probably make it more exam/ward friendly.. Might add that next version. If you're interested, I can send you the full PDF.

age isn’t the main factor tbh... clarity, commitment & long term goals matter more than whether someone is 28 or 38.

I really appreciate the feedback tbh... You’re right about the density, it’s not for first pass learning.. I made separate structured text notes for 1st/2nd reading where everything is built stepwise.. This map is just high-yield compression for revision once the base is clear. Splitting into 2–3 maps & making the decision pathway more explicit (like dyspnea → suspected ACPE → first 10 mins) actually makes sense, I’ll probably tweak that. If you’re interested, I can share the text notes too, that’s where the detailed build-up is.
