Sorry. ESM is ejection systolic murmur. sm
Subject: Sorry. ESM is ejection systolic murmur. sm

ISH is isolated septal hypertrophy, ASH is asymmetric septal hypertrophy, but I doubt these. Maybe she's making a word out of abbreviations, again doubt. I'd leave a blank and flag it unless someone else has an idea. She may have started to say something like "ischemia" but cut herself off. Doubt if she'd say "murmurish." That wouldn't make any sense. I'll keep thinking about it. Please let us know what you find out.

1/6 vs 1/VI systolic ejection murmur.
Subject: 1/6 vs 1/VI systolic ejection murmur.

Hi Ginny,

Actually, both are technically correct. However, for us it depends on client. Some want it with regular numbers and some want the roman numeral. As per the AHDI book of style 2 though "arabic v roman numerals
There is a trend away from the use of roman numerals and toward the use of arabic numerals. A good example of this is in diabetes terminology, where an international expert committee dropped the roman numerals in favor of arabic, noting the danger of a roman numeral II being misread as an arabic number 11. In addition, the AMA Manual of Style states, "Avoid the use of roman numerals except when part of established nomenclature." Copyright (c) 2002 American Association for Medical Transcription"
That being said, I would use 1/6 unless otherwise specified by client or boss.

Systolic murmur
Subject: Systolic murmur

Hi! I have a rather simple (I hope) question. I have an ESL that always dictates 2/6 systolic murmur **at LLB and apex**. Is LLB correct? Every time she says this I try to look it up again, but it is a little difficult to search. Thanks for any advice on this!

as it lists LLBCD as left lower border of cardiac dullness, so LLB is probably okay for your doc's use. We usually hear LSB for left sternal border with regard to murmurs. Can you hear LSB?

I just don't hear "murmur" though. He is a heavy ESL so it could be murmur I guess. He says this on several patients and I cannot hear murmur in any. I will keep listening.
