Description

Ventricular Outflow Obstruction refers to a condition where there is a blockage in the pathway through which blood exits the ventricles of the heart. This obstruction can lead to increased pressure within the heart and can affect overall cardiac function.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in various clinical contexts, including cardiology. It's important to avoid colloquial terms that may confuse the medical context, such as 'bloqueo' or 'obstrucción' without specifying the ventricular aspect. Always use the canonical term to maintain clarity.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with Ventricular Outflow Obstruction after the echocardiogram revealed significant blockage.

ES: Al paciente se le diagnosticó Obstrucción del Flujo Ventricular Externo después de que el ecocardiograma revelara un bloqueo significativo.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with 'obstrucción del flujo pulmonar'; misinterpreting as a general heart blockage; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
