Dutch term

HC

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general)
ECG bij presentatie: sinusritme HC, recent milde DM ontdekt.

ECG at presentation: sinus rhythm HC , recent mild DM discovered.

Anyone know what this HC might be? Looks like it could be a treatment (elsewhere: Rx: HC...)

Thanks!!
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 Hypercholesterolemia
3 Hypertrofische cardiomyopathie

Discussion

Barend van Zadelhoff May 17, 2017:
RX could also refer to x-ray examination

Was there a cardiac catheterization?

sinusritme, HC , recent mild DM ontdekt

sinus rhythm, cardiac catheterization, mild DM found recently
Barend van Zadelhoff May 17, 2017:
Unless 'Rx' exclusively refers to 'HC' rather than to the whole list.
Barend van Zadelhoff May 17, 2017:
'Rx:' (prescription:) does not make sense to me in this context.

What exactly says the Dutch?
Barend van Zadelhoff May 17, 2017:
Could you just give all this in Dutch? Thanks.
CMarc (asker) May 17, 2017:
The whole report is telegraphic.
So the sentence given: "ECG bij presentatie: sinusritme HC, recent milde DM ontdekt". With physical exam results before and lab test results after.
+ "Rx: HC, recent milde DM ontdekt, dieet behandling", in the same configuration...
Barend van Zadelhoff May 17, 2017:
What is the context of this other occurence?
Give as much context as you have, including the way things are presented, like the order of phrases.
CMarc (asker) May 17, 2017:
I'm afraid there are only two occurrences, both mentioned here...
Barend van Zadelhoff May 17, 2017:
Could you say a bit more about this 'HC' elsewhere in your text?

Hypercholesterolemia

It could be this depending on the context, possibly if there was supposed to be a comma that was accidentally omitted between rhythm and HC. Dieetbehandeling would work for hypercholesterolemia as well, so it is a possibility.
Peer comment(s):
agree Barend van Zadelhoff : Most likely suggestion so far... if there was supposed to be a comma that was accidentally omitted... which I think is plausible

Thank you!
neutral Maja Keizers (X) : I see your point, but please explain how hypercholesterolemia would show up on radiography ("Rx: HC"). As far as I am aware, only lab work could demonstrate hypercholesterolemia - the disease, not the resulting plaques.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Barend van Zadelhoff : Not sure this fits the context. Also, acronym of 'hypertrofische cardiomyopathie' would be 'HCM'//It's just a guess, Maja, and if there was HCM, you would not record it this way. Also, 'sinusritme' is just to a snapshot here.//English acr is 'HCM' as well

HC may lead to vfib so it is reassuring to know there is sinus rhythm. It will show up on ECG and on echocardiography and possibly on x ray. As to the actual acronym, it would not be a first to see an English acronym used in a Dutch report. Whatever.
