GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Medical - Medical: Cardiology / echocardiological nightmares
German term or phrase: ableiten / Ableitung
Entscheidend für eine korrekte ***Ableitung*** der parasternalen Langenachse ist ein annähernd horizontalverlaufendes interventrikuläres Septum. Nur auf diese Weise kann die Hämotebene im rechten Winkel des interventrikulären Spetum wie auch die Posterotlateralwand schneiden. ***Abgeleitet*** wird nur der interventrikuläre Hämot. Ganz kurz vor der Spitze der Mitralklappe also in Höhe der Korde Tendinie. Während ***Ableitung*** der Hämotregistrierung sollte das entsprechende Bild wie hier auch gezeigt, im 2D-Bild kontrolliert werden.

I am sorry to ask so many questions. I would like to check if I am right in thinking Ableitung should be translated as 'derivation' here - e.g. for a correct derivation of the parasternal long axis. Also, the 'Abgeleitet wird nur der interventrikuläre Hämot' - should this be 'only the interventricular M-mode is derived here'? Now that we have established Hämot is M-mode!

Thanks in advance!

agree  Dietrich Herrmann, MD, PhD, MBA: Happy Mother's Day! I would go with "derived" since all the measurements are not direct but rather computed by some circuitry. In tech talk that's strictly "derived". Enjoy your future view!

Explanation:
another option for "derive" or "derivation"

"lead" is frequently used in terms relating to ECG, e.g. "intracardial electrode lead" (intrakardiale Ableitung) or "precordial lead" (präkordiale Ableitung)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to have indicated earlier that an ECG is performed in parallel to echocardiography?
