Portuguese term

retificado

Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Cardiology term used in ECG report from Braszil
Hello: I find this term - "retificado" or sometimes "levemente retificado", etc. - used when referring to e.g. the pulmonary valve, the interventricular septum, etc. Am I right in thinking this can mean "flattened" in this context rather than e.g. "corrected", which sounds like a conscious action?

Dear,
Do you mean post "straightened or flattened"?

There is RV overload, and I think you may be right: http://www.bsecho.co.uk/the-right-heart/
Would you mind posting it as answer?
Paulinho Fonseca Aug 23, 2013:
Hi Reachel, I agree with you when you use "fattened". I would use it in this context. What do you think of 'straightened'?

Hello Paulinho, it is an ECG report from a hospital on a patient with PAH: Septo interventricular: levemente retificado e...; Valvula pulmonar: retificada...

Dear Rachel,

would you have more context where the term is used?

Thank you.

The medical term is "rectified", meaning corrected,as you well pointed out in your question.
Example sentence:

IN a rare surgery, a triple congenital heart defect was rectified and necessary reconstruction done in Bangalore last week on a 25-year-old Sri Lankan woman patient at the BMJ Heart Centre. The patient, Manjula Kumari, had a congenital heart defect with

Note from asker:
Thank you R_Mors, but that's where reconstruction has been involved; in my context I don't think this is the case.
