I notice that there is a previous question/answer which translates "sec" as normal. In my research, I found in several articles "no pericardial effusion." I am just checking whether this term would be better translated that way.
This is part of a report of a preoperative assessment of severe mitral valve leakage.

Note from asker:
| Thank you so much! That seems a lot more reasonable... |
| I am grateful; as I noted in my question, I thought it would make sense to say "no pericardial effusion." When I translated the term, I included both terms. |
