Ventilation Defect Formation in Healthy and Asthma Subjects Is Determined by Lung Inflation
BACKGROUND: Imaging studies have demonstrated that ventilation during bronchoconstriction in subjects with asthma is patchy with large ventilation defective areas (Vdefs). Based on a theoretical model, we postulated that during bronchoconstriction, as smooth muscle force activation increases, a patc...
