raramente (here)

English translation: seldom

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Medical (general) / hypertension drug
Spanish term or phrase: raramente (here)
Hipotensión:
raramente se ha observado hipotensión en pacientes hipertensos no complicados.


Automatic pilot translated it as follows:
"hypotension has seldom been observed in non-complicated hypertensive patients."

Then I starting questioning whether it would be better as "on rare occasions, hypotension has been observed in non-complicated hypertensive patients."

To me there seems to be a slight change in inference. Which would do you think is better or more accurate?

Folowing paragraph:
Es más probable que ocurra hipotensión sintomática en pacientes hipertensos que presenten depleción de volumen y/o de sodio debido a una terapia diurética intensa, restricción de sal en la dieta, diarrea, vómitos o hemodiálisis.

agree  Margarita M. Martínez: but it also depends on how you translate the whole sentences; I would say: Rarely, hipotension has been observed... (Otherwise it is "almost" the same). :)

  -> thank you Margarita
agree  Sp-EnTranslator: "Hypotension in non-complicated hypertensive patients has been observed rarely." "Rarely" is most definitely and commonly used in clinical/medical jargon.
