is this right - heart revealed normal "buccal" activity - mt here

Posted: Oct 30, 2009

thanks much!

maybe that should be "focal" - mt here

I don't think focal is it, either... : ) - elaine

I have never heard of "normal activity" when referring to heart function; in particular, "normal focal activity" does not seem apt, as there is nothing focal about the heart's activity.

"Focal" usual refers to discrete findings, whereas descriptions of cardiac function generally describe the heart function as a whole.

The typical cardiac terms are things like heart function, wall motion, contractility, global and segmental wall motion abnormalities.

No, that refers to the mucosa in the mouth - Questions

The only reference I can find on buccal neurons and heart activity pertains to the terrestrial slug.
(No kidding.)

It won't hurt my feelings if you prove me wrong, though! :)

Here's a good one. This doc says the nurses in the ER noticed that patient may have had a heart rate of "800." Impossible.

This is not the first time he has said something incorrect. ...
