Hebrew to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Cardiology
Hebrew term or phrase: היענות
In an echocardiogram report, the patient is said to have a הפרעת היענות דיאסטולית דרגה 2.
What is the היענות in this case? The rest of the phrase seems to be "grade 2 diastolic ____________ dysfunction". What goes in the blank?

English translation:diastolic dysfunction
Explanation:
this is usually translated as:
Grade 2 diastolic dysfunction

compliance is implied in the term "dysfunction".
In a detailed paper on cardiac physiology you may find the phrase:
ventricular compliance in diastole
or something similar to that.
But it would be unusual in a regular discharge summary or echocardiogram report.

Explanation:
most references in English simply have diastolic dysfunction, or in your text, Grade II diastolic dysfunction.

If you think you must add היענות, which seems like a redundant Hebrew addition, I would say response.
