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.

98% sounds high for an ejection fraction, and MB fraction fits more with the context.

I just got a note from QA telling me that fractions are not hyphenated.   Should be 1 1/2 and not 1-1/2.   This just does not even look right to me!  Have I been doing this wrong for the past 12 years?
