**Assessing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) using the flexivent**

[![assessing AHR in Asthma](https://emka.scireq.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_146034842.jpg?width=242&name=shutterstock_146034842.jpg)](https://www.scireq.com/applications/asthma)Recent research strategies for asthma center on the pathophysiological mechanisms of AHR (Airway Hyperresponsiveness). The unique ability of the [flexivent](https://www.scireq.com/flexivent/) to divide the lung response into airway and lung tissue mechanics individually provided new insights likely to modify the way that critical endpoints are measured in the future.
