Questions & Answers about بیمار نبض ندارد، زیرا ایست قلبی داشته است.
Why use زیرا (zira) here instead of the usual چون (chon)?
زیرا is a formal, mostly written word for "because." You will often see it in medical contexts, news reports, and literature. In everyday spoken Farsi, people would almost always say چون (chon) or برای این که (baraye inke).
How does the word ایست (ist) function in the medical term ایست قلبی?
It acts as a noun meaning "stop" or "arrest." It comes from the verb root for ایستادن (to stand / to stop). Linked with the Ezafe to the adjective قلبی (cardiac / of the heart), it literally translates to "stopping of the heart."
Why is the present perfect verb داشته است (has had) used here instead of the simple past?
The present perfect connects a past event directly to a present state. The patient suffered the cardiac arrest in the recent past, and the physical result of that event (having no pulse) is still true right now. This makes داشته است the most accurate choice for describing a current medical emergency.
Is بیمار (bimar) the only word for "patient"?
While بیمار is the standard, slightly more formal word for "patient" or "sick person," you will also frequently hear مریض (mariz) in spoken Farsi. In a clinical or formal sentence like this one, بیمار is the preferred term.
