Abstract
Having a low baseline-FVC (60% predicted) artificially raises FEF25-75 values, so FEF25-75 of “mild obstruction” values may indicate severe airway obstruction in AT subjects. VT/FVC and FEF25-75/FVC ratios may therefore assist in revealing higher than normal breathing effort. The results further suggest adding VT/FVC and FEF25-75/FVC ratios to pulmonary function assessments in patients with AT.
