ICP DA Y CX

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
This is a final diagnosis on a discharge report. The initial diagnosis was ACE (Angina cronica estable=chronic stable angina). Apparently this is the final diagnosis related to the Anterior Descending and Circumflex arteries.
Thanks.

Have a look at this article: intervencionismo coronario percutáneo (ICP)

Luke Mersh Mar 25, 2015:
Just notes. I believe that ICP means (Indice cardiopulmonar) DA(Descendente anterior) and CX(Cirugia), but from your entry it would mean (Arteria coronaria Circunfleja) ..so ..
this could be the Cardiopulmonary rate for the anterior descending and Circumflex arteries.
just a possibility.

Additional info Although this was entered under final diagnosis, further on it appears to be a procedure to be performed.

agree Joseph Tein : I find Cx most commonly in English texts. And see my Cosnautas reference below.

cosnautas

these are fairly common, relatively simple acronyms

you'll find these and around 30,000 others in cosnautas ... the most extensive (and useful) listing of Spanish medical acronyms online

there is no charge to use cosnautas, just a quick registration process
