Use of forced inspiratory vital capacity to identify bronchodilator reversibility in obstructive lung disease Coexistent emphysema delays the decrease of vital capacity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Involuntary breath-stacking. An alternative method for vital capacity estimation in poorly cooperative subjects...
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from your lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It's measured byspirometry, which is a common breathing test to check lung function. This test may help distinguishobstructive and restrictive lung diseases. ...
Vital Capacity:Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum amount of air can be inhaled. Using values of air measurement in the lungs vital capacity can be calculated by adding tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and expiratory reserve volume....
Obesity is a well-known significant risk factor for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypertension [18]. However, the correlations between BMI and vital capacity are inconsistent, and the relationship between BMI and BP is unknown among Chinese...
Background: Spirometric diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is based on the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/vital capacity (VC), either as a fixed value 1/VC ratio in a general population setting. The second aim was to evaluate the characteristics of...
Low values of FEV1 in the general population commonly indicate airway obstruction but may also be a secondary effect of reduction of the vital capacity caused by restrictive defect. A low FEV1 indicates restrictive or obstructive disease or, more rarely, both. As a general rule if the subject ...
Use of forced inspiratory vital capacity to identify bronchodilator reversibility in obstructive lung disease. The objective of this study was to assess the utility of forced inspiratory vital capacity (FIVC) to identify bronchodilator reversibility (BDR) for patien... MS Biring,S Madison,Z Mohseni...
