As all the peer comments below confirm, the above explanation is wrong, but the answer is right (by chance).

The correct meaning of IM is "insuficiencia mitral" in this context. Thanks Filippe, Liz and Joseph for putting me right on this matter :)

agree  Filippe Vasconcellos de Freitas Guimarães: or "mitral insufficiency" perhaps? // Haha, no need for that; it wouldn't affect the translation. Feel free to amend your answer.

  -> Oh yes, I think you're right. Luckily the abbreviation is the same, but I think you should post this as a separate answer.
neutral  liz askew: fvasconcellos has a very valid point here:) Saludos!

  -> Indeed. I'm waiting for him to post his answer...
neutral  Joseph Tein: Hi Emma :) Especially since the adjective is "moderadA" I think this has to be "insuficiencia mitral"// plus I just read the whole excerpt and indeed it talks about the valvula mitral.

  -> Quite right. As Liz would say: Joseph has a very valid point here :)

For IM, the tremedica glossary gives you 24 possibilities -- including "insuficiencia mitral," which I think is the appropriate choice in this case. Here's the link to this specific acronym:
