Dynamik

German to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
Patient with chest pain.

"In der seriellen Troponin T und CK-Kontrollen sowie EKG-Kontrollen war keine Dynamik sichtbar."

Once and for all, I want to find out how to translate this best in EN. Of course, I can simply say "no dynamics", but it sounds a bit translated to me. Any better ideas?

Thanks a lot!

evolution

the question is whether these results have changed in a significant pattern. Dynamic would not sound quite right in English, but evolution suggests that there has been no change that is characteristic.

agree Anne Schulz : or even "significant evolution"

...did not suggest any myocardial injury

serial cardiac enzymes (which are the troponins and CK-MBs, mostly done stat and 3 more times after several hours) and serial ECGs will show if there is evidence of myocardial ischemia or injury. These changes would be the dynamic part. If there is no increase in the enzymes and no development of abnormal EKG patterns then it is good news.
Example sentence:

Twenty-seven patients (27 of 97, 28%) had troponin I levels higher than 3.9 µg/L 24 hours after CABG, thereby suggesting the presence of marked myocardial damage.

A high LDH-1 level to LDH-2 suggest MI
