| Coronary event - further expanation.
Erklärung:
I fully agree with Herve's translation, but there seems to be some confusion about the terminology, as it is used in English, by some participants.
In the context of cerebrovascular disease, the English expressions "cerebrovascular accident" and "cerebrovascular event" are synonymous. Curiously, both these terms are ambiguous in that each may refer either to a cerebrovascular thrombosis or to cerebrovascular hemmorhage. Furthermore, in this context the terms "accident" and "event" never refer to any other form of cerebrovascular injury.
In English, "coronary accident" is virtually never used, but "coronary event" is. An "event' in this context is generally understood to be a coronary thrombosis.
These terms, obviously, when used in the medical context, do not carry the same connotations and meanings that they enjoy in everyday conversation or literature. They are part of a vast medical culture and have acquired special meaning over the years, well understood by professionals in the field.
