Explanation

"Without gallops" in medicine refers to the absence of certain abnormal heart sounds that doctors listen for when examining a patient. These sounds, called gallops, can indicate problems with the heart's function, such as heart failure. If a doctor notes "without gallops" in a patient's medical report, it means that these abnormal sounds were not heard during the examination, suggesting that the heart is functioning normally in this regard.
