French term or phrase:adiastolie débutante
Could someone help me with the correct term for this in English? I am afraid I do not know what it could be and need to ask the help of someone with more experience...
Here is the term in its full context.
[Patient Name] qui a présenté une récidive sous traitement de son épanchement péricardique. Ce psychiatre, sans antécédent, avait donc présenté une péricardite aiguë bénigne virale que nous avions traitée sous aspirine.
Huit jours plus tard, dans un contexte douloureux thoracique très important avec inhibition respiratoire. nous avons réalisé une échographie cardiaque qui retrouve cette fois-ci un épanchement péricardique abondant circonférenciel avec **adiastolie débutante**
Cardiac tamponade is a clinical syndrome caused by the accumulation of fluid in the pericardial space, resulting in reduced ventricular filling and subsequent hemodynamic compromise.

I have never heard of "adiastole" and can find no reliable references by native English authors.

Asker: Thank you very much for providing the reference. I don't think the term is very common in English from what I can see and I might plump for something safer. Your help with providing a definition of "débutante" was appreciated though.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hello Sue, thank you very much once again for taking the time to provide the reference. I was a little concerned about what to do with "adiastole" as the only reference I could find to it in English, referred back to French sources. Your answer is something along the lines of what I was thinking but of course I was very unsure, so thanks, the reference will be very helpful for the remainder of the document also.
