Medical - Medical: Cardiology / damage control techniques
English term or phrase: florid
It is valuable to feel the ventricle, atrium and pulmonary artery for thrills upon completion of the repair to get some notion as to the presence of a VSD or valvular insufficiency. These are not generally reparied initially at the time of emergency operation unless the patient has **********florid******* heart failure.

acuta
Explanation:
Ricordo di aver già posto una domanda su questo termine in passato, con una conseguente lunga discussione. Infatti, il termine già allora si rivelò molto controverso e problematico per l'italiano. Alla fine si concluse però che "florid" indica il massimo grado di sviluppo e gravità di un disturbo o malattia. Perciò qui credo si possa tradurre con "insufficienza cardiaca acuta".
