Notes on Meaning

• Clarification: While the reference from an English-Vietnamese dictionary mentions "liên quan tới hai tâm nhĩ" (relating to the two atria of the heart), this is an error. The correct and primary meaning of "biauricular" relates to the ears ( is Latin for ear). The heart atria are referred to by the term "biatrial".
