Cardial stasis

It should be "Cardiale stuwing", "struwing" is a typo I think.

Stuwing is that due to insufficient output of the right heart chamber the blood pressure in the lungs increases, as the blood is pushed into the lung system.

I googled cardial stasis and found this reference.

"We also appreciate that the right cardiac failure, secundary to pulmonary hypertension, registered in our case, could create right cardiac stasis and conditions for apical ventricular thrombus formation."http://doinabutcovan.3x.ro/13.html

But I am not a cardiologist, so perhaps an entirely different expression is used.

cardiac congestion

Rightsided cardiac congestion with an unusual etiology.
(Rechtszijdige cardiale stuwing met een ongewone oorzaak.)

I agree with Max, it should be 'stuwing'!
