"ECG a riposo: RSR, FC 75/min, **asse indifferente**, PR 140 msec, QRS 80 msec ... ecc".
(This is from an admission report on a patient hospitalized for intense chest pain who later undergoes angioplasty for 3-vessel coronary artery disease.)
I don't find a SINGLE example of "asse indifferente" in a Google search, so my first question is: is this written correctly? My own guess for the translation is "axis is normal" ... because indifferente = unremarkable. But this is just a guess.
This report comes from a Swiss clinic, by the way. Do they use slightly different terms or expressions sometimes in the Italian part of the country?

normal axis
To be honest, I don't know the Swiss Italian use of medical terms. Yet I have no doubt that this is the "asse normale", the normal (electrical) axis which is called "Normaltyp" or "Indifferenztyp" in German.
[Note that "normal axis" is a technical term - not the same as "unremarkable"]

Note from asker:
| Hi Anne. It's nice to 'see' you again, and thank you for your answer and explanation. If 'Indifferenztyp' is standard German terminology, then it seems that it would be somehow related to 'asse indifferente'. Alles gute! |
| Ciao Anne, thanks for your help again (I used this today in a different translation). |
