Spanish term

AO 28mm

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Echocardiogram report
The left atrium (AI) is 30mm in this report, but I don't recognize another acronym, "AO". Any suggestions, please? By the way, can anybody tell me a URL for Spanish medical acronyms? Thanks in advance...

Cerraste la pregunta en forma muy apresurada. La respuesta correcta es la de parrot. Lo digo con un 100% de confianza como cardióloga acostumbrada a leer estos informes. Te sugiero que cambies la entrada al glosario para futuras consultas
Charles Ferguson (asker) Apr 1, 2009:
AO 28 mm Gracias por su amable respuesta. Aqui tiene el texto completo del ecocardiograma: "Cavidades cardiacas de tamano normal con A0 28 mm AI 30 mm. Funcion ventricular conservada con FE 57%. Datos de disfuncion diastolica". Eso es todo. De acuerdo, muy poca informacion.
celiacp Apr 1, 2009:
el contexto que facilita es insuficiente, es preciso indicar qué hay antes y después de tal acrónimo, porque sin más pueden ser varias cosas.

AO (aorta)

I know this is in the KudoZ glossary somewhere (impossible to search two characters, tho'), but check out the contexts below to see if they fit.

Note from asker:
Thank you for your input and I agree that AO is an acronym for aorta. I found celiacp's suggestion most helpful, however. She quite rightly observed the aorta itself cannot measure 28mm and that this measurement would fit for "aortic orifice" which is an important dimension. I have seen quite a few English acronmyms in Spanish texts so found the AO=aortic orifice suggestion the most HELPFUL. However, so as not to cause confusion in the glossary, I will now select yours. I hope this clarifies the situation. Once again, thank you for your work on this issue. If you wish to comment further, I should be pleased to hear from you. C J S Ferguson.

neutral celiacp : raíz es femenino, por tanto, sería "raíz aórtica". Aparte, si se refiere al lugar donde se origina la aorta, será el orificio aórtico, donde están las válvulas (a la salida del corazón).
