Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
In a medical report - from a follow-up report after implantation of an aortic stent
Aorta ascendente ectasica (SV 39 mm, TT 39 mm)
(ascending aorta dilated (LV [left ventricle] 39mm......?)
I'm not sure what this stands for. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks

Just come to the conclusion that it was wrong myself on proofreading - thanks for pointing it out - not sure it's stoke volume though as it's definitely mm not mL indicating diameter not volume

are you sure it's LV? as it says SV = stroke volume??

neutral Joseph Tein : I agree with TT = tratto tubulare but would not translate tratto as "tract." Online you'll find "tubular portion" or "tubular segment." I always translate tratto = segment when writing about portions of arteries.
