Medical - Medical (general) / heart disease
Spanish term or phrase: acianógeno
This is in a patient's medical history. I'm proofreading the translation and the translator used "acyanogenic" -- which makes perfect sense, but when I check online, the first few hits I get are from translated documents (Spain, Ecuador, Brazil) which makes me a little suspicious.

Text: "Se hace diagnóstico de cardiopatía congénita acianógena de flujo pulmonar aumentado."

Acyanogenic = a + cyan + genic -- this translates to "not causing cyanosis" as far as I can tell from analyzing the word components. Is "acyanogenic" a valid term, or is there something more standard in English medical writing?


Thanks again.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Pavel. However, I still only find your term in journal articles that were published in other languages or other countries and I'm not convinced that non-cyanogenic is a term that is commonly used in English writing (writing by English-speaking authors).

Asker: thank you also, for your suggestion

Reference: acyanogenic /non-cyanogenic

Reference information:
In a quick search for "acyanogencic", I found it appearing in scientific articles in bio fields like botany published by authors with names like Jones and Burgess... And ditto for "non-cyanogenic".
If the terms are acceptable in these field, I'd tend to assume they will be valid for medicine too.

Asker: Hi Neil, thanks. I saw some botanical references also, but I'm waiting to see convincing evidence that the term is actually used in medicine by native English-speaking authors. Gracias por tu ayuda.
