Abstract excerpt
A reduction of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) fraction and endothelial-mediated dysfunction have been reported in cystic fibrosis (CF). The aims of the present study were to search for relationships between flow-independent NO exchange parameters (bronchial NO flux (J'(aw,NO)) and alveolar NO concentration (C(A,NO))) and lung function tests characterising airflow limitation and pulmonary vascular bed (capillary blood...
