Influence of ventilation inhomogeneity on diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide in smokers without COPD

In smokers with preserved spirometry, D(LCO) is associated with ventilation inhomogeneity arising from peripheral airways. Measurement of D(LCO) to screen for early lung function abnormalities in smokers may be suboptimal and could be replaced by MBW. https://bit.ly/3nLmgg1
