This sounds more like statistical analysis to me than actual cardiac-related terminology.
I'd start by looking into E x U' or something.
I did stat analysis coursework in college, and the word prime is often represented by an apostrophe. Because there could be data represented by U, and then U' is some derivation of that data. If my fuzzy memory serves me properly, anyway!
I may be WAAAAAY off base here, but that's the first thing I see in this. I hope it helps a little.

How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
Subject: How to type this. Deep tendon reflexes plus 2 plus 2. Also, abdomen has half plus tenderness-sm
I have been typing: Deep tendon reflexes +2/+2. Does that seem correct?
For half plus tenderness of abdomen, I have been typing: Abdomen with ½+ tenderness. I make sure it changes from 1/2+ to ½+ so that it doesn't look like one over two plus. Does this seem right?
Thanks.
