Small airways ventilation heterogeneity and hyperinflation in COPD: Response to tiotropium bromide

In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients tiotropium bromide has been shown to improve forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) and inspiratory capacity (IC). We investigated whether the mechanism leading to these improvements is related to small airways ventilation heterogenei...
