GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:mild mitral insufficiency, mild tricuspid insufficiency, moderate pulmonary insufficiency.

Medical - Medical: Cardiology / ER report
Dutch term or phrase: licht MI, licht TI, matig PI
This is part of a TTE test for someone who had chest pains.
There is no further context.

Does anyone know what MI, TI and PI stand for?

The next sentence is that there is no periocardial fluid and no reasons to think of pulmonary hypertension.

Many thanks in advance.

Myocardial infarction
Explanation:
If this is standard medical nomenclature MI usually stands for "myocardial infarction" which is a fancy way of saying "heart attack". In this case, it appears that the person involved had a mild heart attack. HTH.

I have found an alternate, consistent explanation that neatly covers all of the terms. Here it is: MI = mitral insufficiency. TI = tricuspid insufficiency. PI = pulmonary insufficiency. As you can see, all of these terms relate to the heart (and the proper function thereof) and they are standard medical abbreviations. Here's a reference; http://www.jdmd.com/glossary/med.abbr.pdf Hope this helps.

  -> Thank you. I really thought it was the standard MI at first but now I think the added note makes it clear.

I would tell you where I found the terms if I could, but there is no such thing as a English-Dutch glossary for medical terms (not that I know of). But some knowledge of thoracical surgery helps ;-) (and so does Google, by the way).
