FE: 22%

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Anesthesiology report
Hi again all,

Same report as mentioned in previous questions.
This appears as follows (the HTA, hiper... and histrorial de... are all indented, but "FE: 22%" is not, i.e. it doesn't seem to be under the HISTORIA PREVIA subheading):

HISTORIA PREVIA
HTA
Hiperlipidemias
Historial de insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva
FE: 22%

Can anyone please confirm that it is "left ventricular ejection fraction" (as low as 22%)? "Iron" doesn't seem to make any sense, nor does "gallbladder ejection fraction" although the value of 22% is more reasonable for this parameter.

Joseph Tein Feb 21, 2019:
ejection fraction Your context tells us it's cardiac. You don't need to say 'left ventricular' since it's not in the text. EF: 22% will do it if your translation is meant for medical professionals.

Ejection fraction 22%

En el contexto dado y en relación a la insuficiencia cardíaca, si bien es un valor particularmente bajo, FE debe aludir necesariamente a fracción de eyección.

agree Joseph Tein : Lo mismo pienso yo.

Acabo de ver tu comentario en Discussion. Efectivamente, en este contexto la lectura es bastante directa. Y efectivamente también, no incluiría alusión a eyección "izquierda". Gracias, Joseph.
agree Hernan Casasbuenas : Totally agree. It is a very low ejection fraction, but it is possible.

A little background information.

Your patient is definitely in heart failure territory.
