Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Doppler echocardiogram
French term or phrase: A.O.
Doppler echocardiography report for the left ventricle of an 81-year-old male.
DONNÉES NORMALES / A.O. < 40/O.G. < 40/Ouverture S.A. > 16
DONNÉES PATIENT / 35 / 43 / 26

I think "O.G." = oreillette gauche, but I'm not sure about A.O. (or S.A., for that matter).
Something to do with the aorta, perhaps? That said, there's definitely a dot between the A and the O, suggesting there are two words.

Explanation:
There should not be dots after A and O. In cardiac echography, AO means Aorte. In English, one uses Ao. Seee references in FR and EN below
