Cardiac term - tl


Posted: Feb 13, 2015

Is it cord or chord?

I therefore elected to do a total ____ sparing mitral valve replacement.

Thanks in advance.

Chord

Why is it 'chord' and your references to help explain? - That always irritates me SM

[ In Reply To ..]
when I see it used wrong in books and I always put a line through to correct the word.

Is it the difference between American and British accepted spelling? I've always been chastised by supervisors for using any British variants in my medical work.

Found using chord-sparing mitral valve replacement. I don't believe it is a British variant spelling but refers to the chordae tendinae.

In the Stedman's Cardiovascular & Pulmonary Words 5th Edition it shows total chordal-sparing mitral valve replacement
