thread_title:  1 in 8000 

message: Indeed, the numbers look nonsensical.  It currently says "Dextrocardia is believed to occur in approximately 1 in 12,000 people, while one of 30 of these will have situs inversus. Totalis occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 of dextrocardia situs inversus.  Kartagener’s syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 25 of totalis." 
This would imply that 1 person in 45,000,000,000 (45 billion) has Kartagener’s syndrome, compared to a world population of under 7 billion.
I will try to remove the misleading numbers in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.194.32.42 (talk) 15:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: =============

message: Just read that dextrocardia is related to immotile cilia syndrome and the (mis)placement of the heart results from an inability to move organs to their normal position (e.g. more to the left side) due to anomalous embryogenosis. Immotile cilia syndrome results from defective genes which code for ciliary proteins and concomitant symptoms associated with defective or absent cilia include: dextrocardia, air sinuses in the skull, and dysfunctional mucociliary escalator.

thread_title:  Regarding the image 

message: "Totalis occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 of dextrocardia situs inversus."  This doesn't sound correct at all. That number sounds off. I think that number is more inline with the number of people with situs inversus that have levocardia, because unless I'm just completely mistaken, situs inversus with dextrocardia is situs inversus totalis (I have situs inversus totalis, so I'm fairly familiar with the subject).  As these numbers are unsourced, I'm making a note here that I'm removing this information.  - SudoGhost 05:46, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  1 in 5,000? 

message: Our article presently says (in the lead) that "dextrocardia of embryonic arrest" and "isolated dextrocardia" are the same thing.
But the subsection on the topic says that dextrocardia of embryonic arrest 
* "is commonly associated with severe defects of the heart and related abnormalities"
while http://www.pted.org/?id=dextrocardia1 says
* "Isolated dextrocardia (i.e. without any other associated heart defects) is a rare condition and occurs with equal frequency in males and females."
These two definitions are virtually opposites. Boud (talk) 20:06, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  what is "isolated dextrocardia"? 

message: Based on the elevated left hemidiaphragm (normally on the right) and the air spaces below the right hemidiaphragm (more commonly found on the left, in the stomach) I suspect that the image near the top of the article is of a person with situs inversus totalis. I've made comment to this effect on the talk page for the image on Commons because clarification of this from the submitter would be nice, so that the image could be described in a bit more detail - it's relevant to its inclusion in this article. This associated abdominal image reinforces this impression, but again does not include enough explicit detail to include details in this article. — soupvector (talk) 20:40, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

message: (Hopefully a colleague used to triggering by hand the fairly automated discussion-archiving process will soon archive the originals in the above top-level section -- which belong in archive despite my reformatting of the same content, and should not just be removed from this page.) They should be archived in that form, tho i think they will be more readable after i reformat, below, on copies of them.)--Jerzy•t 04:58, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
