German term
diskrete
German to English
Medical
Medical: Cardiology
generally, vascular anatomy
From patient discharge letter:
"Diskrete Perfusion im Bereich der Unterschenkelarterien."
Means something like modest, mild, or slight -- more than small and less than moderate.
Does NOT mean discreet or discrete--these are false friends.
Sometimes appears with other, similar terms, so it is difficult to visualize what distinction is being made.

Mild perfusion is used all throughout here.

decreased (alternatively: poor)
For the specific context mentioned, I would use "decreased perfusion" or, alternatively, "poor perfusion".
"Slight" and (even less idiomatic, "mild") would be used for slIghtly different contexts.
