Norwegian term or phrase: grad
The following sentence is from a Holter monitor report:

Not sure what is meant by grad here. No underlying heart disease maybe?
The result of the test was normal.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your suggestion Connie, but I'm not sure that this is what is meant here. I feel that the source text should read "underliggende grad av noe" and I can't write "no underlying pressure gradient".
