Spirometry Testing

Spirometry is a standard test that doctors use to measure how well your lungs are functioning.  The test works by measuring airflow into and out of your lungs.

To take a spirometry test, you sit and breathe into a small machine called a Spirometer. This medical device records the amount of air you breathe in and out and the speed of your breath.

Spirometry Testing at San Tan Cardiovascular Center

At San Tan Cardiovascular Center we perform Spirometry Testing on patients with breathing problems to help diagnose the cause. Spirometry tests are used to diagnose conditions like COPD, asthma and restrictive lung disease (such as interstitial pulmonary fibrosis) and other disorders affecting lung function.

They also allow your doctor to monitor chronic lung conditions to check that your current treatment is improving your breathing.
