Airway resistance at maximum inhalation as a marker of asthma and airway hyperresponsiveness

BACKGROUND: Asthmatics exhibit reduced airway dilation at maximal inspiration, likely due to structural differences in airway walls and/or functional differences in airway smooth muscle, factors that may also increase airway responsiveness to bronchoconstricting stimuli. The goal of this study was t...
