Hi! I am currently doing some clinical homework on disease processes. I was wondering if someone would be willing to double check my use of abbreviations and maybe help me with a couple I could not figure out. I really appreciate it!CVA Cerebral Vascular Accident (Stroke)COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseCHF Congestive Heart FailureMS Multiple SclerosisGERD Gastroesophageal Reflux DiseaseUTI Urinary Tract InfectionThe ones I am having a hard time with are: (I would be happy with hints so that I can figure it out on my own-if it is possible)HTN (Something to do with Hypertension?)CAD (Maybe Coronary Artery Disease?)Again, I am grateful for any help! 0 Likes
