La DLCO constitue l’une des épreuves fonctionnelles respiratoires (EFR). La DLCO mesure précisément la capacité des gaz, comme l’oxygène, à passer dans les poumons. Chez les patients atteints d’HTP [hypertension pulmonaire], la DLCO est souvent le seul résultat anormal des épreuves fonctionnelles respiratoires. 2, record 1, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20diffusion%20pulmonaire%20du%20monoxyde%20de%20carbone
