摘要
Differences in the absolute flow and volume of maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEW) curves have been studied extensively in health and disease. However, the shapes of MEW curves have received less attention. We questioned if the MEW curve shape was associated with (i) expiratory flow limitation (EFL) in health and (ii) changes in bronchial caliber in asthmatics. Using the slope-ratio (SR) index, we quantified MEW curve shape in 84 healthy subjects and 8 matched asthmatics. Healthy subjects performed a maximal exercise test to assess EFL. Those with EFL during had a greater SR (1.15 +/- 0.20 vs. 0.85 +/- 0.20, p < 0.05) yet, there was no association between maximal oxygen consumption and SR (r = 0.14, p > 0.05). Asthmatics average SR was greater than the healthy subjects (1.35 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.90 +/- 0.11, p < 0.05), but there were no differences when bronchial caliber was manipulated. In conclusion, a greater SR is related to EFL and this metric could aid in discriminating between groups known to differ in the absolute size of MEW curves. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
