Portuguese term

auriculeta livre

Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Cardiology echocardiograph
It's basically a list showing the results of an echocardiograph. Not much context, I'm afraid.
Are they talking about atrial free-floating thrombus? Meaning free from the atrial wall, moving within the cavity, etc?

I thank you guys for any help on this. Please no guesses.

"...INTRODUCTION � Imaging of the right and left atria and their appendages can provide important information, particularly in patients with atrial fibrillation who are at increased risk for thromboembolic events resulting from left atrial or atrial appendage thrombus. This topic will review the echocardiographic evaluation of the right and left atria and their appendages. The role of echocardiography in atrial fibrillation is discussed in detail elsewhere..."

auricular appendage

A auriculeta é um apêndice do átrio (esquerdo e direito). É a estrutura anatômica que resulta da evolução embriológica do coração. Originalmente um átrio primitivo, ao final do desenvolvimento do feto ele se torna apenas uma estrutura acessória - an appendage. Em situações como a Síndrome da Veia Cava Superior, esse apêndice sofre abaulamento (hipertrofia) e é assim visível em exames de Tórax, como Rx.

Livre here means \"normal\" or \"with normal anatomy\".

O que hoje chamamos de átrio era no século XVII denominado "aurícula"; assim como o que hoje chamamos de aurícula era chamado de "auriculeta". Agradeço ao prof. dr. Eduardo Cunha Farias, prof. associado do Departamento de Histologia e Embriologia do Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas da USP, pelo esclarecimento de parte dos termos anatômicos da época.

I beg forgiveness
