peer agreement (net): +1interventional cardiology department Explanation: NOT "hemodynamics", please! :) In English, "hemodynamics" refers solely to blood flow around the body and the measurement thereof—this is a notorious false friend in medical translation. You could even go with "catheterization laboratory" or "catheterization suite", but bear in mind that a "setor de hemodinâmica" in a large hospital will often have several suites/labs. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2016-08-16 20:06:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This has been addressed very well before: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/portuguese_to_english/medical_gene... http://www.proz.com/kudoz/portuguese_to_english/medical_gene... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2016-08-16 20:14:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And from the Libro rojo, but it applies equally well to the PT-EN pair: cardiac catheterization cardiac catheterization (cardiac cath). En relación con lo comentado en → catheterization, en español no decimos ‘cateterización cardíaca’, sino cateterismo cardíaco, coronariografía o incluso hemodinámica, según el contexto. ● diagnostic cardiac catheterization (hemodinámica diagnóstica). cath lab (laboratorio de hemodinámica, sala de hemodinámica) http://www.cosnautas.com/libro/8107-link?abrev=1&type=arrow -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2016-08-16 20:59:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Haha! It's been 7 years, I think you get a free pass ;-) (Oi Luiza!) |
