Spanish term

S/F

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Echocardiogram
I *think* this is what it says ... I'm trying to work from a very poor copy.

This is from an echocardiogram report for a patient admitted to the hospital for chest pain and diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome. The variables measured are VI, AI, Fey, RAo, and then we have what looks like *S/F: 14 mm*.

I don't find anything that applies in the tremedica glossary, and it doesn't appear in a search for previous KudoZ questions.

I know the other abbreviations ... what does S/F stand for (if this is correct) and how do we express it in English?

Thanks for your help as always.

Joseph Tein (asker) Mar 29, 2013:
My appreciation Thanks to everyone for your comments and contributions to this. I always appreciate these collegial discussions ... we all learn from them.
schevallier Mar 29, 2013:
septo posterior ok, it seems that "septo posterior" can be used to describe the posterior half of the inter-ventricular septum http://bvs.sld.cu/revistas/mie/vol4_4_05/mie10405.htm in that sense, "SP" could be understood as "Posterior Septum"... but why the slash in-between S and P...? beats me! Good luck ;-)
schevallier Mar 29, 2013:
@liz askew I'm not sure which paragraph you're referring to, but if it is your ref about "Miocardiopatia", it does say "engrosamiento del septo y pared posterior de ventrículo izquierdo" which are two different things.
liz askew Mar 29, 2013:
p.s. I am not a specialist in heart anatomy.
Manuel Locria Mar 29, 2013:
I just consulted a friend who is an MD and she said it is possible!
liz askew Mar 29, 2013:
@schevallier
How do you explain the use of "septo posterior del ventrículo izquierdo" in paragraph 2 here:
schevallier Mar 29, 2013:
SEPTO POSTERIOR... SEPTUM POSTERIOR "septo posterior" refers to a vascular territory, and therefore is not a measurement in mm... as for "septum posterior", there simply is no such thing because a septum being a division between two cavities, the correct term for it is "posterior wall", this proposition having nothing to do with "S/P", it is thereby irrelevant, IMHO :-)
lorenab23 Mar 28, 2013:
Hi Joseph Did not mean to leave you high and dry :-( I was at a depo all day. I am glad Liz came to the rescue. Yes I believe it is septo posterior.
Saludos

SEPTO POSTERIOR In this 222-page document from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, there is a nice little glossary on page 9 (useful for mining some new acronyms for everyone's glossary) that shows SP = septo posterior. See: http://pendientedemigracion.ucm.es/BUCM/tesis/med/ucm-t26278...
liz askew Mar 28, 2013:
septum?
Ellen Kraus Mar 28, 2013:
what makes me sceptical is the fact that this gas usually appears as SF6 (6 being its. oxidation state). I suggest contacting the Client to get this clarified.
Ellen Kraus Mar 28, 2013:
@Joseph, could it be a contrast Agent and the 14 mm refer to the diametre ?
Joseph Tein (asker) Mar 28, 2013:
S/P then... what is it? Thank you Lorena ... and I'm still left with my question! Can't find S/P in tremedica or in any previous KudoZ question in the echocardiogram context (several other S/P questions do appear).

lorenab23 Mar 28, 2013:
Hi Joseph I believe is S/P please see here:
VI 50/32 mm
S/P 14 mm
Fey65%
AI 57 mm

Función Sistólica

Función sistólica ventricular izquierda

La función ventricular izquierda se describe y evalua generalmente como sistólica o diastólica, global o regional. La función miocárdica a lo largo de todo el ciclo cardiaco es en cambio más compleja, a causa de su arquitectura intrínseca. La función radial predomina por cierto, pero la longitudinal, así como la torsional también juegan un papel. El strain global (p.e. el strain 2D) así como otros parámetros, pueden prestar una visión en la función longitudinal ventricular izquierda. La función ventricular izquierda radial se evalua primariamente con los métodos que se presentan a continuación.

No estoy muy seguro la verdad, es apasionantemente complicado este acrónimo. Dejo material de referencia que podría ayudar. Sigo investigando!

Saludos!
