English term or phrase: reverse Grinch effect
I was diagnosed idiopathic pulmonary hypertension. It happens when there's a thickening in the pulmonary veins, making the right side of the heart work overtime, and causing what I call the reverse Grinch effect.

Iată ce traduc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvwQXwJyaj0 .

Nu fac traduceri medicale şi nu ştiu cum să traduc termenul.

Vă mulţumesc anticipat!

o inima ca a lui mos Craciun


Explanation:
Eliminand pe "inversul lui Cutare" care devine complicat de inteles, chiar daca cunosti contextul.

Eu cam asa am inteles.
Poate cineva sa aibe o idee mai buna.

reverse grinch effect
un efect inverse la inima lui Grinch


Explanation:
The Grinch's heart is two sizes too small at the beginning of the story and increases three sizes at the end of the story.

Deci, "inversa" ar fi o inimă care scade în mărime, sau o inimă care
micşora.

Reference: The Grinch - Wikipedia

Reference information:
The Grinch, a fictional, bitter, cave-dwelling, catlike creature with a heart two sizes too small....
The Grinch can hear the noisy Christmas festivities that take place in Whoville. Envious of the Whos' happiness, he makes plans to descend on the town and, by means of burglary, deprive them of their Christmas presents, holiday ham and decorations and thus "prevent Christmas from coming." However, he learns in the end that despite his success in stealing all the Christmas presents and decorations from the Whos, Christmas comes just the same. He then realizes that Christmas is more than just gifts and presents. His heart grows three sizes larger; he returns all the presents and trimmings and is warmly welcomed into the community of the Whos.
