Reduction in airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine by the application of RF energy in dogsChristopher J Danek
Asthmatx, Stanford University El Camino Hospital, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
J Appl Physiol 97:1946-53. 2004..54, P < 0.001). We conclude that the temperature-controlled application of radio frequency energy to the airways can reduce airway responsiveness to MCh for at least 3 yr in dogs by reducing airway smooth muscle contractility...
