Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Cardiology
Swedish term or phrase: vitier
This word appears in a part of a patient report listing things, under the heading of Hjärta Kärl, that might apply and providing Yes & No boxes for the answers. The other items in the list are Infarkt, Angina, Hypertoni and Hjärtsvikt. Those are not the problem, I just can't find anything about "Vitier"

English translation:organic heart diesease; OHD
Explanation:
Vitier is the plural of "vitium", which in this context stands for "vitium organicum cordis" or organic heart disease. I don't think that you need to use the plural in ENglish.

  -> Yes, of course. I guess I shouldn't have written the answer in a rush, when I was due for an appointment.
