Thanks :) This is all fault of my love of puzzles :) Thanks F.!
Significa: "Ausculta pulmonar: diminuição global do murmúrio vesicular" :)
Christina Paiva Sep 8, 2009:
Acronyms and wild guess... Given you mention that the hospital note on the patient examination was written at his admission (emergency?) and (if there is no other information) supposing the acronyms are in PT...
AP - could be angina pectoris or angina do peito (Houaiss)

mV /diminuído - could be the result of an electrocardiogram ie in millivolts..
