Evaluation of Novel Lung Function Parameters in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Evaluation of Novel Lung Function Parameters in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Current guideline-based criteria defining COPD do not meet the challenges set by the complex pathophysiology of the disease. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of COPD.

Inclusion Criteria:

• known or suspected COPD
• known or suspected obstructive ventilation disorder
