Analysis of cardiovascular system responses to forced vital capacity in COPD

Background: There is currently no consensus regarding which factors influence the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)..

forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity (FEV 1 /FVC) in the diagnosis of obstructive ventilatory defect, as a complement in the diagnosis of COPD

Objective: To determine the efficacy of using forced expiratory volume in six seconds (FEV 6 ) as a surrogate for forced vital capacity (FVC) in the diagnostic screening for

The positive effects of the inspiratory musculature training on pulmonary ventilation were demonstrated by the elevated forced vital capacity (FVC) and maximal voluntary ventilation

The objective of this study was to correlate func- tional capacity test scores from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) subjects with their func- tional state as assessed

Disturbed sleep is a common feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and contributes to impaired quality of life in this condition [ 1 ].. Over 50% of patients with

NO is important for physiological control of the lung function and in the physiopathology of many lung diseases such as: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),

Exercise Intolerance is a common manifestation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), contrib- uting to the loss of functional capacity and interfering with
