Spanish term

basalmente

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Cardiology - ECG report
This term shows up twice in an echocardiography report of a patient hospitalized for chest pain:

Estudio realizado en fibrilación auricular, con rectificación del segmento ST en V3-V6 basalmente.

En la ecocardiografía, basalmente no presenta alteraciones segmentarias de la contractilidad.

Fundamentally? Basically? Baseline? How do I fit the right word into these two sentences?

thanks for your help.

Gracias. Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions.
María Patricia Arce Aug 23, 2019:
basal/basalmente Hola Joseph, solo me parece necesario traducirlo si el informe describe los datos de una ecocardiografía de esfuerzo o con apremio farmacológico,en cuyo caso "basal" en ambos casos se refiere al reposo (at rest) aunque es muy raro cómo lo expresa en español; en este caso, lo lógico sería que luego figuraran los datos del ecocardiograma con estrés.
Chema Nieto Castañón Aug 23, 2019:
Hola Joseph. Diría que el original se refiere a en condiciones basales, en reposo en este caso (basal, at rest). En cuanto a cómo armar la frase casi que te lo dejo a ti ;)
Saludos

For the baseline in an electrocardiogram, see isoelectric line.
A baseline in medicine is information found at the beginning of a study or other initial known value which is used for comparison with later data. The concept of a baseline is essential to the daily practice of medicine in order to establish a relative rather than absolute meaning to data. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseline_(medicine)

agree Andrés Basabe : The first one is related, as José states, to the isoelectric line. The second one seems to be about a time reference; whether before a study or procedure or the beginning indeed of an EKG is hard to tell with so little context. However, at baseline works
