Patient discharge report, exitus due to multiorgan failure
Hi all,
This a Spanish (Galicia) discharge report for a very elderly patient who suffered exitus due to multiorgan failure.
In the case history it mentions atrial fibrillation was detected in 2016 and a pacemaker fitted. An ECG taken during this period showed:
"no datos de ventricular disfunción y unicamente ****esclerosis aórtica sin gradiente patológico**** e insuficiencia leve con insuficiencia leve mitral."
Are any of these options acceptable, and/or which is preferable:
"aortic sclerosis with no significant pressure gradient"
or
"aortic sclerosis of a pathologically insignificant gradient"
or
"aortic sclerosis without a / with no pathologically significant gradient"?
TIA for any help.

low gradient aortic stenosis
Hi Neil,
this is the usual English expression equivalent to the original Spanish.
Low gradient (sin gradiente patológico) versus High gradient (con elevado gradiente)

Sorry for the confusion; it looked too familiar and I over read it.
As Charles Davis has already pointed out, your first option is fine. You could as well skip "pressure";
Aortic [valve] sclerosis with no significant [pressure] gradient

Aortic sclerosis. No significant gradient across aortic valve.

Aortic sclerosis -no significant gradient

| No worries Saltasebes - I've done the same thing before, misread a word and wandered off on a slight tangent... and I'm sure it'll happen again! Thanks for your input de todas formas. |

Joseph Tein
: This looks like it refers to a specific type of aortic valve gradient; I don't think it's the same thing as the term that needs to be translated here.

The original actually refers to a (no significant) aortic valve gradient. But I am wrong, as I have been reading stenosis instead of sclerosis. Thanks for pointing this out!

Discussion
I went with the first option in the end. Like you Charles, I also saw some evidence of this phrase being used but didn't have the confidence to use it without some confirmation from my peers. Thanks.
I would go with your third option.
