Medical - Medical (general)
English term or phrase: cross-sectional compliance
In addition to established coronary artery disease, Mg2+ balance has also been linked to increased burden of subclinical measures of arteriosclerosis (e.g. intimial media thickness, cross-sectional compliance, cross-sectional distensibility, increased elastic modulus).

complianza/compliance transversal
Explanation:
De acuerdo a los diccionarios comunes, entiendo que "compliance" y "distensibility" son prácticamente sinónimos. Sin embargo, médicamente son parámetros diferentes:

"Distensibility coefficient (DC) was calculated from the diastolic cross-sectional area (A) and change in cross-sectional area (ΔA) and local pulse pressure (ΔP) with the formula DC=(ΔA/A)/ΔP. A and ΔA were calculated as A=π · (D/2)2 and ΔA= π · [(D+ΔD)/2]2-π · (D/2)2. Cross-sectional compliance (CC) was calculated as CC=ΔA/ΔP."
http://hyper.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/38/5/1190

Como se ve en la fórmula, la complianza es el aumento de calibre respecto al aumento de presión, y la distensibilidad es la complianza normalizada respecto al calibre del vaso para así poder comparar vasos de diferentes calibres.

En español hay quienes usan "compliance" y quienes lo castellanizan como "complianza" (yo sería partidario de castellanizarlo).

"observó que tanto la complianza como el coeficiente de distensibilidad fueron significativamente"

"Distensibilidad arterial En forma semejante a la compliance arterial se
puede calcular la distensibilidad de los vasos"

disagree  M. C. Filgueira: Esta respuesta está fuera de contexto. "Cross-section" sólo tiene este significado en un contexto estadístico.

disagree  RNAtranslator: En este contexto se refiere a elasticidad, pero es un término médico mucho más específico que elasticidad simlemente.

Según Navarro:

Compliance [Card., Resp.] elasticidad, distensibilidad.

En tu caso, se trata de un término relacionado con el sistema cardiovascular, es decir que esta definición coincide con el contexto.

cross-sectional = transversal

neutral  Marocas: El problema, Yvonne, es que después tiene "cross-sectional distensibility". Si no fuera por esto, la respuesta sería correcta. Me parece que elasticidad y distensibilidad son sinónimos. Creo que el término es adaptabilidad.Esperemos alguna opinión experta

  -> Tienes razón. ¿Podría decirse entonces "elasticidad transversal"?
neutral  RNAtranslator: La idea es elasticidad o distensibilidad, pero es un término médico mucho más específico. Mira mi propuesta, por favor.
