Medical - Medical: Cardiology / heart disease
Spanish term or phrase: adecuada resolución
Los criterios de inclusión fueron (1) ser mayores de edad, (2) el evento cardíaco debía haberse presentado máximo 30 días antes de la primera evaluación, y (3) que llevaran máximo una sesión del programa de rehabilitación cardiovascular (en el caso de que aplicara). Así mismo se descartaron a los pacientes con alguna discapacidad que impidiera la adecuada resolución de las pruebas psicológicas (criterio de exclusión).

appropriate completion / completing/fulfilling the tests acceptably
Explanation:
The correct collocation in this case is "tests are completed"; they are neither solved nor resolved.
compare "solve tests", "resolve tests" vs. "complete tests"
= 10,000 hits, 2,500 hits and 191,000 hits, respectively.

I'd turn it around to something like:
"Patients with a discapacity that prevented them from completing/fulfilling the psychological tests correctly/acceptably were also ruled out (exclusion criteria)."
or
"Patients with a discapacity that prevented them from adequately completing/fulfilling the psychological tests were also ruled out (exclusion criteria)."

Así mismo se descartaron a los pacientes con alguna discapacidad que impidiera la adecuada resolución de las pruebas psicológicas (criterio de exclusión).

neutral  Neil Ashby: "...ruled out patients with a discapacity that prevented the appropriate solution based on psy. tests" - they weren't ruled out "based on the tests", they were excluded because they were unable to complete the tests, IMO.

agree  Robert Carter: I like the translated sentences you gave. Not sure about "discapacity" though, how about "disability", or am I just out of touch?

Reference: "To whom it may concern"

Reference information:
This is a nice and concise analysis of the difference between "resolution" and "solution". May be helpful to decide between these two proposed answers :-)
