Hi,

i just want to check that I have the correct meaning of 'AP' here:

AP : Asthme, pas de crise nécessitant l’hospitalisation

Does this stand for 'Anamnèse pulmonaire'? It is regarding a patient suffering from chest pains.

Thanks

Example sentence(s):
  • The second branch of the evidence connects asthma, angina,...
