This is why we need more information, if you have it. An ejection fraction 50% or above is considered normal. If it's considerably below that, obviously "normal" would not fit. More information please.
oral LV EF - cherie

Well, I had to just blank it and send it on. It definitely wasn't 'normal.' It was from a current test, so it couldn't have been 'old' which was my first guess, but I wasn't comfortable with that. Sounded just like oral, but this physician was good at not pronouncing initial letters of words.
Sorry, I should have responded back already.
CURRENT TEST? - from a test?

From a current test? This is not the place to ask for help if you are working on a test. They want you to be able to research and understand the reports yourself so that you will be able to work in the "real" world

No, no, not a test I was taking. A test the patient had. LOL!
Is there a type of scan that s/l sustemembic scan that can reveal a left ventricular ejection fraction of 38% w/ no significant wall motion abnormalities? I can't find anything close anywhere and this is my first time transcribing this doctor. Thanks! ...
I should know this word, but can't for the life of me see it in my mind! Dictation is about an echocardiogram.
Doc says: ejection fraction of 40% with s/l ecchyonesis, ...
He dictates results of an echo: "ejection fraction __% by T Schultz"
He says it clearly and I cannot verify it in anywhere. Thank you for your help. ...
Ischemic heart disease: Residual mild to moderate left ventricular dysfunction with a Cardiolite study in July of 2009 documenting fixed anterior apical "dove set" with an ejection fraction of 44%. ...
I know this is hopeless, but here's the sentence: "Patient had echocardiogram done showing marked s/l leeterdeezed left ventricular systolic function." I suppose the "deezed" could be disease, but I don't know...
HELP! ...
He is giving the list of measurements on the echo and says what only s/l fraction 27%.Â
It is not ejection fraction because he lists that later as 40%. ...
Sounds like he is saying ventricular/atrial fibrillation, maybe ventriculoartrial fibrillation?
I am unable to verify this condition. Can anyone help?
...
There is a first-degree atrial ventricular block. There is one beat with a variant conduction, perhaps an intermittent right bundle branch block.
Does this make sense? Thanks.

This is probably something painfully obvious that is escaping me. Young male who bit his lip. exam "Slight (s/l typtic) area on the lip." Treatment recommended is Orabase and salt water cleansing. ...
Doc is prescribing oral contraceptives called "Ovasense". Not turning anything up on Google, Bing, rxlist.com, drugs.com, epocrates.com. Please help! ...
I think that part of a physician's training/internship or whatever should be to have 6 months to 1 year of being an MT before they start practicing medicine. Maybe that would help. Of course, then they would all know how to type their own reports and the need for us will diminish...yet, a physician's time is apparently very precious...so maybe not. Just thinking outloud, never gonna happen. ...
I've always used oral mucosa but in looking up a prior report today saw an MT had transcribed it as "Oromucosa is moist."
Have I been doing it wrong all this time???
How do you transcribe this?
TIA :) ...
I know I learn something every day in this business, but I've never heard of this. She's very, very clear, but I'd like to know for sure before I QA. Thanks!
For context, this is the complete statement:
She was found to have a hemoglobin as low as 7.8 and was sent to the emergency room. This did not require an s/l oral transfusion.
