patient est connu pour
What period of time does the phrase "patient est connu pour" refer to? Usually it's specified or it's obvious but how should I interpret this phrase if there is no other context. For example in the sentence
Le patient est connu pour une fibrillation auriculaure, un status post pontage aortocoronarien et une prothèse valvulaire aortique mécanique.
does this mean :
- the patient has had AF in his lifetime (maybe only in the past)
- the patient necessarily has AF now?
Thanks for help!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: The fact that the phrase exists in English is unsufficient to make it a correct translation.
