What Does FVC Stand For?
FVC stands for Forced Vital Capacity
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is a pulmonary function test that measures the maximum amount of air a person can forcibly exhale after taking a deep breath. It is an essential assessment in evaluating lung function and helps diagnose various respiratory conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and restrictive lung diseases. FVC results are typically recorded in liters and can provide valuable insights into the overall respiratory health of an individual.
