with susceptibility to hypoventilation

My comment:

terrain – Larousse Chambers français-anglais

4. MÉDECINE ground
l'enfant présente un terrain favorable aux angines – the child is susceptible to throat infections
quand le virus trouve un terrain favorable – when the virus finds its ideal breeding conditions

Concept aussi classique qu'imprécis, regroupant l'ensemble des facteurs constitutionnels ou acquis, préexistant à l'apparition d'une maladie et pouvant en favoriser la survenue ou en conditionner le pronostic.
English – diathesis
