German term

TCI

German to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Hypertension
In German medical report, patient has mild pulmonary hypertension and mild mitral valve defect after reconstructive surgery.

In "Befund" section:

"Leichtgradige Trikuspidinsuffizienz, leichte pulmonale Hypertonie (TCl 30 mm Hg).

I cannot figure out what "TCl" stands for and/or what it would be in English. I am not sure from the print if the last letter is an "I" or a small "L". It also could be the Roman numeral "I".

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Stephen

Thanks everyone for help! Thanks everyone for the many ideas, suggestions, and references! I used a translator's note with different alternative translations. I am still not sure which answer is correct. (In this translation, I was instructed NOT to contact physician's office, so I cannot verify the meaning).

would tend to agree wit SJLD it's sth along the lines of pressure gradients, just judging from the context.
SJLD Feb 12, 2011:
Another possibility is the trans-tricuspid pressure gradient.

Weit hergeholt? Anscheinend lässt sich pulmonale Hypertonie über die 'lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide' nachweisen, die ab einem RVSP von >30 mmHg gilt. Vielleicht ist TCl einfach verkehrt und hier sollte etwas wie TLCO oder DLCO stehen.

SJLD Feb 11, 2011:
pulmonary hypertension A PAP of 30 mmHg would be considered mild PAH - maybe TCI is an error?
TCI is also an acronym for tricuspid insufficiency.
In any case, the units mmHg are for a pressure measurement.
SJLD Feb 11, 2011:
mitral valve? what about the tricuspid regurgitation?

German term (edited): TCI or TCl

Target Controlled Infusion

I think it would make sense here. Is there more context?
Note from asker:
Barbara, Thanks for the suggestion. I should have mentioned that the procedure being performed was a transthoracic echocardiography. Does that help confirm your suggestion? Thanks
Peer comment(s):
agree Ingeborg Gowans (X) : I found that, too, but couldn't be sure

neutral SJLD : what would the 30 mmHg mean then?

TI gradient

I think the source text might have confused the abbreviation. TI (tricuspid insufficiency) would make more sense here. The 30 mmHg would then refer to the blood pressure.

Here is a reference text to look at. I hope it helps.
