IT > EN 5 terms from long translation

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am working on a long translation of a study on aging and now, at

the end, have 5 words or phrases that I either cannot figure out or

am unsure of. I am hoping someone can help shed some light on these.

1. Under the section on the ECG, where the examiner is supposed to

check off characteristics that are present in the test subject,

under " Ritmo " , one of the items is " Caotico per Fa " . The other items

are " sinusale " , " indotto da Pace Maker " , etc. I have not figure

out " caotico per Fa " .

2. Also in the ECG section, under " Fase di ripolarizzazione " , one of

the items is " Sugg. ber. digit. / disturbi elettr. " I cannot figure

out " Sugg. ber. digit. "

3. Under the section on the cardiovascular examination: " Soffi

cardiaci: diastolico __/6 Lev, sistolico __/6 Lev " Does " Lev " refer

to the grade of heart murmur?

4. Under " Segni clinici di stasi o ipoperfusione agli arti

inferiori " , once of the signs is " fibrodermite retraente (quadro

similsclerodermico). " Can I say " retracting fibrosing dermatitis " ?

5. Lastly, the examiner is supposed to evaluate whether the

patient " è in grado di fare ponte " . How would this be expressed in

English? Is it the same literally? In the explanation underneath this

item, the examiner is supposed to see whether or not he can pass his

hand underneath the patient's back (I assume while the patient is

lying on his back).

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
