Italian term

iposfimia

Italian to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Patient hospital report
In an examination of a patient who had an episode of cold sweating and "feeling unwell".
"POLSI RADIALI SIMMETRICI, IPOSFIMIA POLSO TIB POST A DX, TIB ANT A SX."
At a guess TIB is tibia but I have no clue about iposfimia. Anybody know?

hyposphygmia

You have a typo in your source. "Hyposphygmia" means abnormally low blood pressure. " In medicina, ipotensione arteriosa essenziale con pressione minima normale. " (Treccani)

(I mean ... the source term is "iposfigmia")

About TIB: in this case it would be "tibiale". Have a quick look at this: http://spazioinwind.libero.it/gastroepato/esame_fisico_arter...
