Acceptable alternatives for forced vital capacity in the spirometric diagnosis of bronchial asthma

[Association between the forced midexpiratory flow/forced vital capacity ratio and bronchial hyperresponsiveness].

OBJECTIVE A long-standing hypothesis is that a low ratio of airway caliber to lung size is associated with bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). The aim of our study was to measure the association between airway caliber relative to lung size (expressed as the ratio between forced expiratory flow, midexpiratory phase, divided by forced vital capacity [FEF(25%-75%)/FVC]) and BHR measured by a meth...

Spirometric Evaluation of Pulmonary Function Tests in Bronchial Asthma Patients

Asthma is a complex, recurrent disease of the airways that causes shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough (particularly at night or early in the morning). Asthma is episodic in nature and usually reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment. However, chronic inflammation, associated with persistent symptoms, may contribute to airway remodeling that may not be completely reversible. Airfl...
