acute heart failure on a substrate of liver and kidney failure


Explanation:
καρδιακή κάμψη is in the glossary, but is an imprecise term in Greek that doesn't have a precise medical meaning. I think the rest is self-explanatory.

heart failure on the grounds of/that the ..... suffered hepatic and renal insufficiency


Explanation:
heart failure on the grounds that the patient/deceased suffered hepatic and renal insufficiency (=failure)

Αν και είναι κατα βάση νομικη η χρήση του 'on the grounds'επιχειρηματολογια)δύνεσαι να πείς εναλλακτικώς on the grounds of renal insufficiency

Το επι εδάφους ακριβως επειδη προερχεται απο την ελληνικη όπου η μεταφορική του αξία διατηρείται και στην λατινικη αγγλικη ,δεν θα δημιουργηθει προβλημα ιατρικης κατανοήσεως.
Εχουμε μεταφραστικη ισοδυναμια σε επίπεδο μεταφορας απο την γλώσσα πηγη στην γλωσσα στοχο.
'Επι εδάφους' συνιστω να το διατηρησεις και εις την αγγλικην διοτι προσδιδει την ακριβη ερμηνεια που είναι κατι περισσοτερο απο το 'due to' που δηλωνει αποκλειστικη αιτία το οποιο δεν ειναι κατα αναγκην το σημανομενο εις την περιπτωσιν αυτην

agree  Peter Close: Whenever I have come across επί εδάφους or σε έδαφος in a medical text, I have found 'on the grounds of' or a suitable synonym to be the most appropriate answer.
