Figure showing total lung capacity and tidal volume is misleading
(for me) for
one aspect.
TLC height is changing in the last three bars (patients with COPD) and it
occurs
during exercise and/or after drug. To my knowledge TLC is a stable value
and
it is not modified by exercise and/or drug.
Figures are important communication tool and they must not be misleading
