a bridge we need to cross

[Andrey Yasharov]

Пожалуйста помогите перевести следующую фразу:
That's a bridge we need to cross
Контекст:
I think we should get a chest x-ray to see you know what your heart looks like initially.
If it looks enlarged then we need to go go on with like an echocardiogram.
So we can get an idea of what's actually happening in there.
So what do how do you treat this Chagas disease thing ?
well ,
you know that's a bridge we need to cross a little later but unfortunately at this point in time there is no real treatment for it .
It's symptomatic.
Treat the symptoms.
Do you die from it?

[Solomonchik]

to cross a bridge = решать проблему.
"Эту проблему нам придется решить несколько позднее, однако..."

[watchkeeper]

could mean: давайте не будем забегать вперед
от поговорки "we will cross that bridge when we come to it" meaning one shouldn't worry about things until they actually happen

[Solomonchik]

Well, it appears that he does already have this Chagas disease and "should worry about that".
В данном контектсе вперед не забежишь... Трипаносомозом он уже болен, а лекарства нет.

"К сожалению, на данный момент действенного метода лечения самого заболевания не существует, так что с этим пока придется повременить. А пока - лечите симптомы."

[watchkeeper]

ну от чего же, в данном контексте как раз и забежишь: курс лечения симтомов будет зависеть от самих симптомов, которые в случае Chagas disease could range from fever to dimentia :-) Они собираются проверить как у него сердце работает, и по результатам исследования будут решать что нужно лечить сердце, кишки или нервную систему :-)

"The human disease occurs in two stages: the acute stage shortly after the infection, and the chronic stage that may develop over 10 years.

In the acute phase, a local skin nodule called a chagoma can appear at the site of inoculation. When the inoculation site is the conjunctival mucous membranes, the patient may develop unilateral periorbital edema, conjunctivitis, and preauricular lymphadenitis. This constellation of symptoms is referred to as Romaña's sign. The acute phase is usually asymptomatic, but may present symptoms of fever, anorexia, lymphadenopathy, mild hepatosplenomegaly, and myocarditis. Some acute cases (10 to 20%) resolve over a period of 2 to 3 months into an asymptomatic chronic stage, only to reappear after several years.

The symptomatic chronic stage may not occur for years or even decades after initial infection. The disease affects the nervous system, digestive system and heart. Chronic infections result in various neurological disorders, including dementia, damage to the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy, the most serious manifestation), and sometimes dilation of the digestive tract (megacolon and megaesophagus), as well as weight loss . Swallowing difficulties may be the first symptom of digestive disturbances and may lead to malnutrition. After several years of an asymptomatic period, 27% of those infected develop cardiac damage, 6% develop digestive damage, and 3% present peripheral nervous involvement. Left untreated, Chagas' disease can be fatal, in most cases due to the cardiomyopathy component."
