Physiological Differences and Similarities in Asthma and COPD—Based on Respiratory Function Testing—
Physiological differences and similarities in asthma and COPD are documented based on respiratory function testing. (1) The airflow reversibility is usually important for the diagnosis of asthma. However, patients with long disease histories may have poor reversibility. The reversibility test in COP...
