French term or phrase: ATC? IM
ATC? IM (73) pacemaker (2000 ) PAC (90) tuteurs, HTA, dyspepsie, angine, TPP post voyage avion, sarcoidose

I have taken for granted that IM = insuffisance mitrale = mitral insufficiency which happened in '73, while the Pacemaker was installed in 2000

this is medication history of the patient (before admission to hospital) it gives a fairly long list of what he takes

this is a guessing game, there is a character after ATC that I can't figure out

if you want, I can do a screen capture and send it to you
