Blood pressure readings in Spanish

[Nessgav99]

Hi Everyone

Is the Spanish initials for TENSION ARTERIAL MEDIA, mean arterial pressure (MAP in English initials). Is a term used in medicine to describe an average blood pressure in an patient.

I've been Interpreting for 10 years now, mainly Hospital visits + other matters such as doctors visits, town hall, tax office, etc. and documents/hospital reports translation. I'm Spanish lady who lives in Huercal-Overa, with full acknowledgement of English language and culture as I've also lived and worked previously in the UK for 6 years.

This is my name and number Vanessa Garcia 622 051 554, I would be happy to help if ever needed.

Kind regards


P.S. I know this was posted a while ago, but I'm quite new using this forum

I think you're probably right! Evening blood pressure readings are only higher in women whose husbands have just faffed about all day therefore getting NOTHING constructive done and working us into a state of frenzy...for all the wrong reasons!  :lol:

Might be a morning reading, as opposed to taking a reading later in the day.

Probably mean arterial pressure

Does anyone know what T.A.M stands for?

I know TAS/TAD are systolic and diastolic, but not sure of the last one... many thanks if anyone knows this
