Dr Sue Levy (X) Nov 16, 2006:
No hyphen in ST depression
Dr Sue Levy (X) Nov 16, 2006:
There is no such thing as a T3 lead. I suggest this is an error for "DIII" - Lead III in English. Quite possible if your text is a transcript. Then it would be ST elevation in Lead III which would make more sense.
liz askew Nov 15, 2006:
I was going to ask what the diagnosis was after the physician had read the ECG - you could then link this in with the suggested translations, to check their accuracy! I see you've accepted my answer - thank you!

slight ST-depression in V6 to V3, and T3-wave elevation

It's taken a while to try and get my thoughts together on this one!

From what I understand you cannot have ST elevation in T3, so I would question the first contributor, though would not say it is wrong!

Segmento ST
 isoelectrico
 esta a nivel de la linea de base
 no incluye ondas
 su morfologia es una linea recta horizontal
Debe estudiarse siempre en cada derivacion y es basico en el diagnostico de la cardiopatia isquemica.
 desviacion de la linea de base 1 mm hacia arriba o hacia abajo
 Supradesnivelado
 Infradesnivelado
 forma
 Concavo
 Convexo
 Rectificado
 otras

Independent blinded reference standard, applied in all patients from a consecutive appropriate spectrum.
Reference standard:
 ECGs read by electrocardiographers. The ECG readings were compared with: ST-segment depression or elevation of 1 mm or more, ST-segment straightening or depression of less than 1 mm, T-wave depression of 1 mm or more, T-wave flattening and T-wave elevation.
Diagnostic test: Physician read ST-segment and T-wave changes of the ECGs. Physicians assigned a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, angina pectoris or not acute ischaemic heart disease to each patient based on clinical presentation. Trainee physicians (in post-graduate years one, two and three, and those physicians identifying themselves as trainees during post-graduate years four and five) were analysed separately.
The evidence

Best of luck to you on this one!
Peer comment(s):

disagree Dr Sue Levy (X) : I've never met a T3-wave - when you see T3 written it means T-wave inversion in Lead III

I've never even met any of this in real life, so you can see the difficulties we humble translators are up against!! At least you knew what was meant. Thanks for the correction.
