Herzgeräusch
Ich habe ein Problem mit diesen zwei Termini. Ich wollte "Herztoene" mit "cardiac sounds" uebersetzen. Soweit, so gut. Das Problem sind die Herzgeraeusche: Normalerweise, wenn man von Herzgeraeuschen spricht, sind sie pathologischer Natur und man wuerde sie mit "heart murmur" uebersetzen. In diesem Fall sind sie aber NICHT pathologisch. Ich glaube, dies dann mit "no pathological heart murmurs" zu uebersetzen, waere nicht in Ordnung. Ginge auch "no pathological cardiac/heart sounds"? Oder was sind Eure Vorschlaege.
Es ist ja herzbezueglich alles ok.
Vielen Dank.

Non-PRO (1): Harald Moelzer (medical-translator)
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Heart murmurs are most often caused by defective heart valves.

Another variant would be <heart sounds>
heart murmurs
However, it is more common to see simply "no murmurs".

non-pathological or innocent murmur
http://books.google.com.br/books?id=Jv7p3sg9sCIC&pg=PA49&lpg... ...non-pathological murmurs are extremely common in children.
http://www.ljm.org.ly/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid... This new method should reduce the referral volume of non-pathological heart murmur cases to the cardiac centres, and reduce the cost on health care system providers. Moreover, the method is simple, save and cost-effective.
| Thank you. |

Lirka
: if so, it would be called "physiological murmur", but does not apply here
