German to English translations [PRO]
Medical (general) / cardiology
German term or phrase: erschopfte myocardiale Anpassung
I wonder if this is "exhausted myocardial adaptaion" or
"exhausted myocardial compnestion" or non of the above?

This is in the context of Aortal Stenosis diagnosis.

Many thanks
