TI

French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Medical report following an accident
French term or phrase: TI
TA= 140/78, TI = 113
The above appears in a medical report. I know that TA refers to blood pressure and have looked for something using "tension" in the abbreviation "TI" without any success. Does anyone know what it means please?

Awarding this point as an answer of any kind was very helpful and was provided extremely quickly so thank you very much. However in the end the client said that "TI" here was to be translated as "HR" (ie heart rate). So no wonder everyone was puzzled.
