Rita Tepper Jun 11, 2010:
Para Fernanda Te agradezco la aclaración, pero ya sé que el término isquemia cardíaca existe, soy cardióloga antes que traductora, trato de no discutir téminos de gramática porque respeto a los traductores profesionales, pero di mi opinión como cardióloga que se pasa los días haciendo e informando electrocardiogramas. Y me llama la atención ese tipo de informe.

Good discussion, good points all... Acronyms can be a real problem, never more so (I find) than when medical professionals train or practice for some period of time in the U.S. and then return to their Spanish-speaking home country to practice! I used to translate a lot of medical records from Puerto Rico... the mixed up Span/Eng was a nightmare. Also, in my experience, acronyms tend to be very localized -- something you've never seen anywhere will be some particular hospital's favorite abbrev. Good suggestion, neilmac! As for the colon, Rita, I understand what you're saying. What makes me think it's not a typo is that elsewhere on the form there are these sort of "pre-entered" items... it's like the I.C. wants to make sure this info about the EKG is included, if applicable, so this "prompt" was put in. Also I find that "datos de" is commonly used for "signs of" pretty much anything, whether or not it's good medical Spanish. Could that be a Barcelona thing? (that's where these records are from). Anyway, thanks everyone.
María Fernanda Pignataro Jun 11, 2010:
Lesley, let's consider other options regarding cardiology for C.I., just in case: Carótida izquierda, Coronaria izquierda (arteria) and (just another non-cardiological option) Cuidados intensivos. At this point, Lesley, may be you should ask your client to be sure. Any of these terms could do. Acronyms and abbreviations are the hell of translators! Good luck!!
María Fernanda Pignataro Jun 11, 2010:
Hola Rita y Lesley: "isquemia cardíaca" figura en el "Diccionario de siglas médicas y otras abreviaturas, epónimos y términos médicos
relacionados con la codificación de las altas hospitalarias de JAVIER YETANO LAGUNA y VICENT ALBEROLA CUÑAT en la entrada "CI". Esta es mi fuente de consulta, la cito para agregar información al momento de tomar la decisión respecto del término en duda. Saludos.
Rita Tepper Jun 11, 2010:
No queda claro para nada Lesley, en tu pregunta, bajo estudios complementarios dice: Electrocardiograma: Ritmo simusal.
Datos de C.I.:
Nunca en mi vida como cardióloga escuché, leí, o vi que se informe un electrocardiograma con las palabras "datos de cardiopatía isquémica" seguido de ":". Asumamos que los dos puntos son un error de tipeo. Datos de cardiopatía isquémica me suena terrible en español médico. Para mí como cardióloga no tiene sentido.

Lesley Jackson (X) (asker) Jun 10, 2010:
Yay, Fernanda! So either way -- Eng or Span -- we have ischemia!
Lesley Jackson (X) (asker) Jun 10, 2010:
Gven that this is under the EKG report... which is part of the angiography report (ancillary tests), I'm inclined to agree with Isabelle. "Signs of cardiac ischemia:" makes perfect sense here -- especially because it's an EKG preliminary to angiography. I'm convinced this is it. These guys drive us nuts, don't they, mixing Eng and Span acronyms, which this record definitely does... and which is why I hinted in the question that it might be Eng. Thanks, everyone.

El estudio SMART demostró que la enfermedad isquémica cardiaca asintomática es frecuente en esta población. A 296 adultos VIH (+) con una cifra de CD4>350 mm3 y sin CI conocida se les realizó un electrocardiograma (EKG) con el fin de detectar datos de CI (ondas Q o depresión del ST). El 6% de los pacientes presentaron ondas Q y el 5% alteraciones del ST (7% en los menores de 40 años y 15% en los mayores de 60 años). Las variables asociadas fueron la edad > 60 años (OR 2.3, intervalo de confianza (IC) 95% 1.4-3.6) y la utilización de terapia antihipertensiva (OR 1.5, IC 95% 1.1-2).(20)

agree neilmac : Yes but they often leave the acronyms as they are in English. Without confirmation from the authors, I think this is the most logical answer

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Since we don't know for sure whether the acronym is Eng or Span, either you or Fer is right. In either case, we have ischemia. I'm giving you the points because you answered first. Thanks!"

Interventional Cardiology/Cardiologist (IC)

AS it is an agiography report, I believe Interventional Cardiology (if referring to the section of the practice) or interventional cardiologist (the name of the operator) may fit here.
Peer comment(s):
neutral neilmac : Could be "insuficiencia cardíaca (IC)" also... I think we need more context

Rita,
I am not saying it is not a statistical term. I am telling you to please look at my reference and you will notice that it is also an electrocardiagram test. I am not in a live or die contest, but only to help and learn in an educated manner.
