Discussion

Gilberto Lacchia May 10, 2005:
it is wrong, although a more accurate option would be "enzyme-positive myocardial infarction".
Gilberto Lacchia May 10, 2005:
Hi Stephen: obviously I do not consider the web as God (one can find tons of mistakes on web pages), and I could not care less of Kudoz points. In my humble opinion your solution is not standard medical language, but I am not saying that
Non-ProZ.com May 10, 2005:
I�m really confused now! By the way, this is from an Austrian Hospital, maybe this would make it easier?
Stephen Sadie May 10, 2005:
The thing I don't understand then is how can we distinguish Herzinfarkt and Enzyminfarkt which have understood to be more specific for some 10 years now and always translated accordingly (no client has ever complained)
Dr.G.MD (X) May 10, 2005:
Christine, an error.... I changed my comment on Stephens suggestion. Although everybody knows what it is about his suggestion is rarely used in a clinical context or even in a written text.
Stephen Sadie May 10, 2005:

Stephen: this was my first thought too, but looking at Google always brings you back to myocardial infarction. I found no direct hit for enzyme infarction

Gilberto...this term is used by some of my clients, please do not view the web as GOD. I don\'t mind about KUDOZ points if you need/want them: basically I\'d like to help Christine and give her the best option for her client.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Gilberto Lacchia : I cannot find any reference for such an expression in a cardiological context. Not only on Google, but on PubMed too.

put it down to experience please, the term certainly exists and Google isn't God
neutral Dr.G.MD (X) : like Gilberto

Thanks, I'd be interested to hear which of the two proposals you prefer bearing all your experience in mind.
