This exploratory study suggests that dynamic hyperinflation in asthma can be reduced by systemic anti-inflammatory treatment, particularly in patients with elevated blood eosinophils. This supports the hypothesis that dynamic hyperinflation in asthma is due to airway inflammation and should be considered an important target for treatment.
