German term

Vd. ant.

German to English Medical Medical (general)
Diagnose: Vd. ant. Hypertonie mit Entgleisungen

From a German medical invoice.

This is from a very poor quality fax. I thought at first it was 'Vd. auf' meaning 'suspected' but a few google searches turned up "Verdacht ant." Does this mean the same thing? "suspected" seems to fit the context.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +9 arterial hypertension
3 +1 suspected

German term (edited): art. Hypertonie
Selected

arterial hypertension

I think it's a typo ("ant. Hypertonie" instead of "art. Hypertonie").

I just noticed that the text is from a poor quality fax. That explains it ...

I agree that "Vd." probably means "Verdacht".
Note from asker:
Thanks. I can see now that it may well be 'art.' So the 'auf' after Vd. has been left out. I will go ahead with 'suspected arterial hypertension with decompensation'
Peer comment(s):
agree Ingeborg Gowans (X) : yes, you are probably right, considering also the poor quality of the fax

Thank you, Ingeborg.
agree Melanie Nassar : Well that's certainly something I didn't think of, and would explain the "." after the "art" (if there is one)

Thank you, Melanie.
agree Rolf Keiser : seems to be the right approach

Thank you.
agree MMUlr : IMO Vd. -> Verdacht (as mentioned), ant. -> auf (misread from a poor-quality fax!?).

Thank you. And no, I think "auf" can be omitted, "art." is important.
agree Lirka : I also feel that it's a typo for arterial ( art.) and not 'auf'. It needs to be stated what kind of hypertension; it could also be pulmonary for that matter....but I'd write teh entire thing as "suspected art. hypertension"

Thank you, lirka - and good point (pulmonary vs. arterial).
agree Steffen Walter : I agree that "ant." should be "art.". "Vd. art. Hypertonie" (Verdacht arterielle Hypertonie) is even more "short-hand"/telegraphic style ("auf"/"a." left out) for "Verdacht auf arterielle Hypertonie" .

That's what I thought too. Thank you, Steffen.

suspected

I think your first guess was right, although the normal abbreviation is V. a. But sometimes the doctors don't keep to the rules. I can't think of what ant. Hypertonie might be, and the "auf" would still be missing.
