English term or phrase: ST segments concordant
Frankly, I do not know how to ask this properly, and what language pair it should actually be grouped under to reach the right audience (I do not want to put it under EN monolingual).

I am editing the following:

"EKG showed sinus rhythm at a rate of 75 beats per minute, left type, PQ unremarkable, ST segments concordant."

This was written in English by an Austrian clinician. Hence, we need to think backwards what she meant to say in German as they usually translate literally. But I've seen neither "concordant ST segments" nor "konkordante ST-Strecken" in any real-life reports.

I need to make sense of it and put it in proper medical English.

Any suggestions in German or English what exactly was meant here?

Thank you!
P.S.Disregard the "left type", we know it's "horizontal heart"

Explanation:
This is what I'd normally expect in a German cardiology report. This ECG seems to be unremarkable overall. See also https://www.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/medical-cardiol... and https://www.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/medical-cardiol...

neutral  liz askew: hmm this doesn't address "concordance", which has negative connotations.

  -> Yes, perhaps, but all of the findings listed before ("sinus rhythm at a rate of 75 beats per minute, left type, PQ unremarkable") seem to be unremarkable/normal.

The most widely accepted tools to aid in the diagnosis of MI in the presence of LBBB are the Sgarbossa criteria. Sgarbossa et al.1 identified three ECG criteria that may improve the diagnosis of MI in patients with LBBB:

ST-elevation of ≥1 mm and concordant with the QRS complex (5 points)
ST-segment depression ≥1 mm in lead V1, V2, or V3 (3 points)
ST elevation ≥5 mm and discordant with the QRS complex (2 points)
ST-segment concordance with the QRS complex has a specificity approaching 98% but with limited sensitivity (~20%) (Table 1).5 Thus, the Sgarbossa criteria are informative if present but not reassuring if absent and cannot be used to exclude MI.

RESULTS
Of 26,003 North American patients, 131 (0.5 percent) with acute myocardial infarction had left bundle-branch block. ***The three electrocardiographic criteria with independent value in the diagnosis of acute infarction in these patients were ST-segment elevation of 1 mm or more that was concordant with (in the same direction as) the QRS complex****; ST-segment depression of 1 mm or more in lead V1, V2, or V3; and ST-segment elevation of 5 mm or more that was discordant with (in the opposite direction from) the QRS complex. We used these three criteria to develop a scoring system (0 to 5), which allowed a highly specific diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction to be made.

****The diagnosis of STEMI in LBBB*** is dependent on the “Rule of Appropriate Discordance,” which means that, in normal LBBB (without MI), the ST segment (and usually T-wave) are in the opposite direction (discordant to) the majority of the QRS. ****“Concordance” (ST segment in the same direction as the QRS) is abnormal and indicates STEMI.**** Sgarbossa and others have found high specificity of an ST segment that is concordant to the QRS.

So, based on the above evidence I don't think it is "unremarkable". Concordance indicates STEMI.

and the above is possible with a HR of 70 bpm
