Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Cardiology report
Romanian term or phrase: ortostatism
Context: listed under the heading 'Medical Examination'
- Normal blood pressure without *ortostatism* or signs of cardiac decompensation.

I am currently having a wonderful time translating a Dutch cardiology report with lots of words/terminologies in French, Romanian, Flemish and I'm not sure what else!

When googling *ortostatism* it appears to be Romanian and thus am hopeful someone will be able to help me.

Many thanks,

upright position


Explanation:
In DEX(Dictionarul explicativ al Limbii Romane - Romanian Dictionary), the word ortostatism means maintaining the body in an upright position/vertical position(mentinere a corpului in pozitie verticala); it comes from the french word orthostatisme, which translated into english is upright position
