The Vital Role of Lung Function in Asthma Care
Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) is a very important physiological measure that predicts increased risk of exacerbations in certain respiratory conditions. FEV1 is a key indicator of lung function and airflow limitations, and monitoring changes in FEV1 can help healthcare providers assess disease progression and guide treatment decisions. 1,2,3
