Medical report
Hola!
The FA abbreviation appears a couple of times in a cardiology medical report. I thought it stood for Atrial Fibrillation in the first instance, but then I considered Fractional Shortening.
EKG: FA con RVM controlada 65 x. BCRIHH
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………........
Valvula aortica trivalva con signos de esclerosis y normofuncionante.
Llenado trasmitral monofasico no estenótico por FA. No se detecta derrame pericárdico. Raiz y arco aortico de tamaño y morfología normal, sin signos de flap intimal en ETT actual. Diametro VCI 19 con colapso inspiratorio >80% mm.
My attempt for the second instance is: not stenotic due to AF / no stenosis due to AF
However, when from what I have read, AF causes stenosis and not the other way around.
Any help appreciated!

AF
It is AF in both cases.
The second example is bit tricky just because "due to AF" is not related to a non-restrictive (no estenótico) filling pattern but to the "patrón monofásico de llenado [flujo] transmitral"; it says something like "non-restrictive [monofásico (high E/A; no-A wave] trans-mitral filling pattern, due to AF". Esto es, que el hallazgo patológico aquí es el patrón monofásico de llenado transmitral, que se explicita como secundario a una fibrilación auricular -lo que parece razonable, ya que al no haber ondas p funcionantes no habrá tampoco onda A de vaciado auricular, existiendo únicamente la primera fase -onda E- pero no la segunda-, añadiendo el texto, en tanto que información adicional, que el patrón encontrado de llenado transmitral no es restrictivo ("no estenótico").
