Spanish term

VB ...

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Cardiology echocardiogram
From the Antecedentes section of a discharge report, written by a doctor who has a greater-than-usual love of acronyms. Following a description of the patient´s social and family history, CV risk factors and allergy details, it says:

VB: asintomático salvo sudoración si se concentra mucho en el trabajo durante más de 2 horas

Aside from the fact that I seem to have exactly the same symptom ;o) I've not come across the term VB before other than to mean "visto bueno", which does not fit here.

Any ideas?
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): ARS54

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Note from asker:
I think this could be it. I actually came across the same term yesterday, shortened to vrg. and didn't know what it meant then either. Two birds...!

Unless the doctor's own initials are VB, the VB=Visto Bueno generally means that what has been seen and read has been understood, noted and approved.
