Spanish term or phrase: Aspecto de dilatación bicameral izquierda
Hi all,

I came across the phrase in a post-mortem report, in the section related to the study of the heart. Here is the full context:

"Tras apertura, estudio y disección de cavidades cardíacas, no observamos la presencia de restos de coágulos en interior. No se observan áreas de necrosis isequémica miocárdica antigua. Aspecto de dilatación bicameral izquierda, artefactada por fenómenos autolíticos, no asociada a hipertrofia miocárdica".

My understanding of it is that the left chambers of the heart appear dilated, but I would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

The document was issued in Spain and the target audience is in the UK.

Thank you for your help,

Nisah
