For "correcto" I prefer "satisfactory" to "correct", which doesn't sound quite right to me, but maybe that's just me; as you like. You can use STs for stimulation thresholds; it's found in several places, but it should definitely be defined on first use, like any abbreviation (apart from the really obvious ones). "Tras 24 horas UE ventricular a 0,5 ms <0,4 V." https://www.sacardiologia.com/docs/cientifico/certificado200... "Se observó un ligero aumento del umbral de estimulación del vector programado hasta 2,2V a 0,4 ms" http://www.impulsorevista.es/tormenta-arritmica-en-portador-... "Measurements performed five weeks later revealed a further increase in ventricular and atrial stimulation thresholds to 2.5 V at 1.0 ms and 5.0 V at 1.0 ms, respectively " https://www.researchgate.net/figure/a-Pacing-threshold-and-b... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2019-02-20 19:09:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Lucky timing; I basically knew b----r all about pacemakers before I took that job and had to give myself a crash course. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2019-02-21 06:37:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (PS. Sorry if I seem to be "teaching my grandmother to suck eggs" with the comment on abbreviations. I intended it for the general reader.) |
