Medical - Medical: Cardiology
German term or phrase: G/2
Diagnosen:
Intermittierendes Vorhofflimmern
I10.90 Arterieller Hypertonus ***G/2***
I35.1 Aorteninsuffizienz II. Grades ***G/2***

Any suggestions? I know G2 from tumor grading system. But that is definitely not it.

Explanation:
I have some doubts about "grade 2" here:

1st: Why should there be a slash between 'G' and '2', at least in German? This appears to be rather uncommon.

2nd: Why should one abbreviate 'grade 2' additionally as long as "II. Grades/grade 2" is already mentioned in the full text ("Aorteninsuffizienz II. Grades").

I cannot overcome the feeling that this has something to do with coding in the German modification of ICD-10 ("ICD-10 GM").

*G* stands for "gesichert* (assured/verified) here.
*2* could be an OCR error for 'Z' here which stands for an asymptomatic condition after previous disease.

This assumption, however, leaves it to further discussion about whether or not a patient can suffer from an "S/P" arterial hypertension and/or aortic stenosis....

On the other hand, the limitations of the German GP's coding habits are well known to me...:-))

Thanks! it turned out that you are right about the coding. 2 stands for "unchanged" in that particular case.

grade 2


Explanation:
Definitely grade ( btw, grade is not exclusive to oncology).

According to the updated guidelines, Grade 2 hypertension would mean systolic 160=179 mmHg and diastolic 100- 109 mmHg. See here:

As for aortic regurgitation, they already stated that it was grade 2.

Hence, no doubt about it.

agree  Anne Schulz: Ich teile deine (und Sonjas) Zweifel über "Grad" und dachte auch an das "gesichert", aber der Rest ist halt schwer unterzubringen - vielleicht sollte man doch einfach eine A.d.Ü. machen.
