German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Cardiology
German term or phrase: betont
From a TTE report:

"Reduzierte systolische Funktion des betonten rechten Ventrikels"

And later: Der rechte Ventrikel ist betont.



The report doesn't give any dimensions for the right ventricle, so I can't check whether it is dilated...

What would be the meaning of "betont" here?

Thanks for all answers. Based on Anne's explanation in the discussion, I think that prominent covers it adequately....although pronounced is also an option

swollen


Explanation:
It seems to indicate an enlargement/dilation of the right ventricle from what I can gather from the text. Swollen would seem to fit the description perhaps?

accentuated


Explanation:
"betont" in cardiology usually means "accentuated" and refers to the cardiac sound.

Example sentence(s):
  • ANP mRNA expression was accentuated in the left ventricle but suppressed in the other cardiac chambers in the hearts of hypertensive rats.

Not sure hwo you can work this into the sentence, though. Hence CL3

In the Google search link posted above, I made reference to hypertrophy (see subsequent answer at 3 hrs). A further search reveals that patients may have mild rather than pronounced hypertrophy:
https://www.google.com/search?q="mild hypertrophy" ventricle...

Hypertrophy is potentially a) an overtranslation of the actual term posted (betont) or b) an undertranslation of the patient's condition.

agree  Rachel Goodwin: pronounced was my first thought too, but then I thought perhaps swollen as it talks about reduced function possibly indicating a problematic state rather than a natural state, hard to know without more info

neutral  philgoddard: A condition (e.g. hypertrophy) can be pronounced, but can a part of the body?
