French term

roulement

French to English Science Medical (general) hospital report
In a report on an infant with congenital heart defects: "petit souffle d'insuffisance mitrale très discret sans roulement"...The nearest I can find, but I'm guessing and not sure that I'm right, is "with no interval". Informed advice would be much appreciated. TIA.

diastolic murmur

Les souffles méso ou télé diastoliques sont des souffles à basse pression, de tonalité grave et
sont appelés roulement.

In English there is not a different term for a murmur that occurs in diastole, but they are often described as rumbling murmurs.

Murmur

Harrap's double bilingual noted under medical
Note from asker:
Don't think it's "murmur", Annamaria, as earlier in the sentence there is a "souffle", i.e. murmur.
