German term or phrase: HT rein
Hi everyone,

Any ideas how "HT rein" can be translated? This excerpt is from a post op examination, and my translation looks like this up until now:

Heart: regular heart rhythm, normal heart rate, //normal heart sound//??

from Wiki:

In healthy adults, there are two normal heart sounds often described as a lub and a dub (or dup), that occur in sequence with each heart beat. These are the first heart sound (S1) and second heart sound (S2), produced by the closing of the AV valves and semilunar valves respectively. In addition to these normal sounds, a variety of other sounds may be present including heart murmurs, adventitious sounds, and gallop rhythms S3 and S4.

agree  Lirka: yes, could possibly add "without murmurs" as well, although that is sometimes a separate entry ( ohne Herzgeraeusche)

clear/pure heart sound(s)


Explanation:
HT -> Herzton/Herztöne -> heart sound(s)

clear/pure heart sound(s)

The stethoscope should be moved to different positions until the
student listening through the stethoscope hears clear heart sounds.

The cardiovascular system (CVS) examination showed that she had clear heart sounds (clear S1S2) but she was tachycardic.
http://clinicalcases.org/2004/05/hypernatremia-due-to-dehydr...

Initial examination revealed a regular heart rate of 75bpm, an arterial blood pressure of 125/65mmHg, pure heart sounds, symmetrical limb pulses and unremarkable neurological examination.

Pure heart sound1 and 2, normal intensity. Systolic murmur is heard, diastole grade 2 – 3/6, p.m. at apex. Femoral
artery is touched bounding.

Just for illustration that 'clear' and 'normal' are used in this context, and there is enough evidence that this also seems to apply to 'pure':

If previous examinations have disclosed normal clear heart-sounds the appearance of even a slight transient systolic murmur at the apex or between the apex and the sternum is conclusive of a heart-lesion.

Explanation:
I agree with Anne about "normal", but definitely feel that you need to add "no extra sounds or murmurs".
