What Does FVC Stand For?
FVC stands for Forced Vital Capacity Lung Function
FVC, or Forced Vital Capacity Lung Function, is a key pulmonary function test that measures the maximum volume of air a person can forcibly exhale after taking a deep breath. It is a critical indicator of lung health and is used to diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and restrictive lung diseases. By assessing FVC, healthcare providers can evaluate the effectiveness of lung function and determine appropriate treatment plans for patients.
