Spanish term

MDM

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) cardiology
Por todo ello, se solicita directamente cateterismo que descarta reestenosis de stent previamente implant ado sobre DA y se realiza ACTP con implante de stent farmacoactivo sobre DP, con leve movilización de MDM post ACTP, actualmente en descenso.
...
El paciente ingresa en Cardiología actualmente por nuevo episodio de angina inestable con mínima movilización de MDM negativos y sin cambios en el ECG (pero estimulación por mcp).
...
MDM post ACTP con mínima elevación hasta 0.7 8, actual en descenso.

Can anybody help with MDM - the text is an SAE report for a cardiology patient and I can't find much evidence to explain MDM.
Country: Spain

MDM? Inglés o castellano?
monocytes derived macrophages?
mitral diastolic murmur?

"Biochemical markers of myocardial damage after high-energy radiofrequency ablation of atrial flutter. Value of troponin I
[...]
The mean Troponin I levels were 0.01 microgram/l before ablation, 0.87 +/- 0.77 at the 4th hour (p < 0.001 versus control), 1.16 +/- 1.2 at the 12th hour (p < 0.001 versus control) and 0.7 +/- 0.63 microgram/l at the 24th hour (p < 001 versus control) after ablation."

I've quoted the last reference to indicate that the value of 0.7 mentioned in your text is compatible with this interpretation.

Peer comment(s):

agree Chema Nieto Castañón : Perfectly explained. In this context it is probably enough to refer to cardiac markers / cardiac biomarkers. In Spanish I would naturally use "enzimas/enzimas cardíacas" instead of MDM in the examples of the OP.

Many thanks, Chema :-) I agree; I think "biomarkers" is the word here.

Gracias, José Patricio :-)
agree abe(L)solano : Sí, aunque la expresión "movilización de MDM... " me suena bastante rara. En fin, si lo escribió un médico....

Gracias, abe(L) :-) Sí, "movilización" es un uso raro, me parece.
