Italian term

accelerazione transistimica

Italian to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Finding on a doppler ultrasound
Hello,

Can anyone identify the word 'transistimica' for me in English please? Here's the full sentence for context. It's in the conclusions of a report on an infant with a family history of bicuspid aortic valve.

Minima accelerazione transistimica senza gradiente significativo (9 mmHg), buona funzione

Many thanks in advance
Proposed translations (English)

And then when I did that my Google gave me a whole load of spiel about some railway in Central America and nothing about the isthmus...!
philgoddard Nov 1, 2022:
If you Google this, it says "Did you mean transistmica".
Laura Massey (asker) Nov 1, 2022:
I think you must be right!
philgoddard Nov 1, 2022:
Should that be transistmica, as in across the isthmus?
