an "autograft cadaveric pulmonary valve replacement?" (sm)
Subject: an "autograft cadaveric pulmonary valve replacement?" (sm)
relatively new to cardiology- it sounds like the doc is saying that the patient is status post "aortic valve autograft cadaveric pulmonary valve replacement."
Am I just misunderstanding the terms, or am I mishearing what she's saying? I thought (could be mistaken?) that autograft meant it was grafted in from somewhere in your own body, and cadaveric meant it was taken from a cadaver. So how can a replacement be both autograft and cadaveric?

probably "Mitral valve - grossly normal valve leaflet morphology and motion."
"Left ventricle - normal systolic and diastolic dimensions, grossly normal segmental wall motion and systolic function overall."
"Aortic valve - mildly sclerotic valve leaflets with no frank stenosis or regurgitation."
Where it says "Atrium normal.", listen for "Right atrium - normal."
Also maybe: "No significant effusion. Intracardiac masses or thrombi - none observed."
And a couple of other places where similar dashes would be appropriate.
maybe "preservation" of the aortic leaflets
Subject: maybe "preservation" of the aortic leaflets

(average peak velocity). Also listed under "velocity" is aortic jet velocity and A-peak velocity, though there are no abbreviations provided with these.
ESLs should NOT abbreviate!
