E-point Septal Separation (EPSS) and septal slap

English to French Medical Medical: Cardiology POCUS
E-POINT SEPTAL SEPARATION & “SEPTAL SLAP”
Looking for the French equivalent of both.

Measurement used in estimating the left ventricular ejection fraction.
When the left ventricle relaxes during diastole, blood rushes through the mitral valve, swinging open the anterior mitral valve leaflet toward the interventricular septum. In the early stages of diastolic filling, the anterior mitral valve reaches a point of maximum excursion, and as such comes closest to the ventricular septum (E-point). The distance in space separating the anterior mitral valve leaflet from the septal wall is referred to at the E-point septal separation, or EPSS. EPSS can be thought of most simply as an estimation of left ventricle contractility and ejection fraction.

On POCUS, described as when the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve can be seen striking the interventricular septum in early diastole.

Ben oui mais il s’agit d’un forum français, pas canadien! Ce n’est pas non plus la proposition que vous avez choisie, qui n’est pas écrite en français et surtout il n’y a aucune documentation sur le web….

Terme retenu et recommandé par un médecine francophone (du Canada) : distance entre le point E (point d’excursion maximal du feuillet septal de la valve mitrale) et le septum interventriculaire
Septal slap = "claquement septal"

séparation septale du point E (EPPS) ou "septal slap"

Il suffit de lire : "The distance in space separating the anterior mitral valve leaflet from the septal wall is referred to at the E-point septal separation, or EPSS. "

https://simonihay.com/fr/réponse-uotw-7/

Quant à "septal slap", je ne le traduirait pas car c'est un sinonyme et, déjà en Anglais, c'est du jargon:

http://edeblog.com/2018/05/the-septal-slap/
“E-POINT SEPTAL SEPARATION (AKA THE “SEPTAL SLAP”)
E-point what?! Does the abbreviation EPSS help? OK, let’s back up to explain this “nose-in-the-air” echo term.”
