Subject: QA puts in "EF cardiac profile"

but it sure sounds like "ES" Cardiac Profile. I cannot locate it EF or ES when doing research as the way it is dictated.  dictator goes on to give lab values such as white count, bun and creatinine and so on. Any suggestions would be very grateful. BTW, even with my new Bose headsets the "ES" is coming in more clearly than it did before!!  TIA. 
New standard states:
Subject: New standard states:

And I quote: "Numerals, or figures, stand out from the surrounding text and serve a functional purpose in medical reports, where they should be used almost exclusively as opposed to spelled-out numbers.

Exceptions: Judgment and discretion are need when deciding but adjacent numbers require one to be spelled out to avoid confusion.

Use a comma to separate adjacent unrelated numerals if neither can be readily expressed in words and the sentence cannot be readily reworded.

Use numerals for fractions.

Spell out numbers that begin a sentence.

Zero is always spelled out when it stands alone.

Spell out numbers used as pronouns.

That should get you started!
