GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase: suboptimal Spanish translation: subóptimas Entered by: Anselmo Cordero

English to Spanish translations [PRO] Medical - Medical: Cardiology
English term or phrase: suboptimal What could be the best Spanish word choice for the term (suboptimal) in this context? Esophageal deviation using either a TEE or EGD probe has been described in the literature, but the effectiveness and practicality of these techniques are suboptimal, and have therefore precluded their use in routine clinical practice.
