Increased difference between slow and forced vital capacity is associated with reduced exercise tolerance in COPD patients

BACKGROUND: A higher slow vital capacity (VC) compared with forced vital capacity (FVC) indicates small airway collapse and air trapping. We hypothesized that a larger difference between VC and FVC (VC-FVC) would predict impaired exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disea...
