Race-neutral equations for assessing lung function appeared to catch more true-abnormal findings for Black patients than did ...

A diagnosis requires a calculation involving FEV1 and another breathing measurement called forced vital capacity (FVC). FVC measures the greatest amount of air you can forcefully breathe out after ...

forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), or how much air someone can exhale in one second after inhaling as deeply as possible; forced vitality capacity (FVC), or the total amount of air a ...

and FEV 1 /FVC ratio did not differ between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that only AHI was a predictor of daytime hypercapnia (p < 0.0001), while BMI (p = 0.051) and %VC (p ...

A new study published in the journal of Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease showed that after just 4 to 8 weeks, ...

Comorbid lung function impairment was associated with increased risks for cardiovascular disease and mortality in type 2 diabetes.

Supra-normal FEV1 and FVC values were identified in 14% and 9% of the cohort respectively; there was an FEV1 and FVC positive median bias (standard residual [SR]) of 0.33 and 0.60 respectively, when ...

PRISm has been recently defined as the concurrent reduction of both forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) without airflow obstruction. Researchers aimed to ...

Background Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is essential for assessing patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) ...
