Ap. Valv. Aórtica

English translation: Aortic valve opening/opening of the aortic valve

09:52 Dec 18, 2018
Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Cardiology
Spanish term or phrase: Ap. Valv. Aórtica
From an echocardiogram report from Peru:

Raiz de aorta
Ap. Valv. Aórtica: 19 mm

And lots of other usual measurements such as LVOT etc.

All I can think of for "Ap." is "anteroposterior".

Help!

Thank you :)
