IVC komplimoituu

English translation: normal inspiratory collapse of the IVC

Medical (general)
Finnish term or phrase: IVC komplimoituu
Medical notes on a cardiac patient:

"
RV normaalin kokoinen, gradienttia ei saada, TAPSE virkeä ja IVC komplimoituu hyvin hengityksen mukana.
"

IVC perhaps stands for "inferior vena cava" here.

"komplimoitua" = ?

English translation:normal inspiratory collapse of the IVC
Explanation:
As Jussi said, the Finnish term would be "komprimoituu" (although "hengitysvaihtelu" might be a better one).
It seems that although "compression" is also used in English, the preferred term for "normal compression" during breathing is "inspiratory collapse", see e.g. https://pulmccm.org/critical-care-review/inspiratory-collaps...
and

IVC compresses


Explanation:
I'm quite confident that the correct Finnish term is "komprimoituu", see the reference search. However, I'm not sure that the English term is correct, as I don't translate medical into English.
