que los médicos descarten/descartaran un ataque


Explanation:
.. el 9/8 María fue hospitalizada/internada 3 días para descartar /que los médicos descartaran un ataque/ o se busca/buscó descartar un ataque. Deberá volver al neorólogo el 1/10

Creo que la elección de una u otra opción depende del resto del contexto

los médicos determinarán las probabilidades de (nuevos) ataques


Explanation:
both constructions with "to + infinitive" refer to the future
IMHO
Translation of "seizure" depends on the condition (probably epilepsy)



Rule out: A term much used in medicine, meaning to eliminate or exclude something from consideration. The ACB (albumin cobalt binding) test helps rule out a heart attack in the differential diagnosis of severe chest pain.
