The Concavity of the Maximal Expiratory Flow–Volume Curve Reflects the Extent of Emphysema in Obstructive Lung Diseases

A concave-shaped maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve is a spirometric feature in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The MEFV curve is characterized by an increase in the Obstructive Index, which is defined as a ratio of forced vital capacity to the volume-difference between two po...
