In a report of a clinical examination:
ECG: RSR, nc, axe N, QRS fins....
Can anyone help with the meaning of "nc" in the above? The document is from Switzerland. Thanks very much.

I knew we had this before - and now I found it: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/medical_general/...

Michael Barnett
: I thought "normal sinus rhythm" (RSR) would have encompassed that, but you are probably right.//I personally would interpret NSR to include normal HR but apparently the author does not.

Thank you Michael (isn't RSR just a "regular sinus rhythm" without information about rate?) // You can distinguish a "rythme sinusal régulier (RSR)" from a "rythme sinusal normal (RSN)" if you are just picky enough :-)

This could be a possibility.
Discussion
First you list the EKG rhythm, then the PR interval, then the QRS interval, then the QT interval, then the electrical axis of the QRS complex then comments about abnormalities of the pattern, such as the presence of pathological Q waves, ST-T segment abnormalities or inversions/elevations, R wave abnormalities, inflection point abnormalities of the precordial leads etc.
A comment such as "normocardique" is very non-specific, so why mention it in the middle of a list of specific objective findings? Sorry I have nothing more to offer.
Another sentence in the document includes "ECG sp" ("sp" being "sans particularité" or unremarkable). I'm starting to think it's something like "normocardique."
Clearly RSR is normal sinus rhythm, axe N is normal electrical axis (-30 to +90 degrees), QRS complex thin (0.08 seconds). I'm not sure about nc.
If you can tell me what the EKG diagnosis was, I may be able to surmise what nc is.
