GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:indic
English translation:indexed
Entered by: Luigi Argentino

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / echocardiography
Italian term or phrase: indic
This is an abbreviation that shows up twice in a patient's echocardiogram report:

"Ventricolo Sx dilatato dtd [this is diametro telediastolico = EDD] 90 mm (45 mm/m2indic), vol td 450 ml (236 ml/m2indic), ipocinetico ..."

What is the word for this 'indic' abbreviation? The only thing that comes to mind is "indice" but then I don't know how that fits in these measurements.

After we decide what this means, how do I write this result in English so it makes sense?

Thanks for your help again.

Explanation:
Indicizzato in the sense of "normalized value", creating an 'EDD index', so to say.

You could translate this as "indexed"(?) or "normalized [value]", however, I don't really think that values normalized per kg BW or per m2 BSA are usually characterized by such an add-on in English reports. I would therefore suggest to leave it out.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ciao Anne. Thank you as always. I chose to include the term in my translation -- because if I leave out a word that's present in the source, I'm usually asked why I did that. Your comments and explanation make sense.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Luigi Argentino: In the text attached, as you properly wrote, the authors used the two different terms "....indicizzato per le dimensioni corporee. Quando normalizzato per la superficie corporea...." I chose to respect their approach.

  -> Thank you, Luigi. A perfect valid approach, and I certainly did not mean to indicate that your answer is wrong by posting an alternative proposal – all roads lead to Rome!
