Descriptor English: Bronchial Hyperreactivity
Descriptor Spanish: Hiperreactividad Bronquial
Descriptor hiperreactividad bronquial
Scope note: Tendencia del músculo liso del árbol traqueobronquial a contraerse más intensamente como respuesta a un estímulo determinado que en la respuesta observada en los individuos normales. Esta reacción está presente prácticamente en todos los pacientes con síntomas de asma. La manifestación más prominente de esta contracción del músculo liso es la disminución del calibre de las vías aéreas que puede medirse fácilmente mediante pruebas de la función pulmonar.

Scope note: Tendency of the smooth muscle of the tracheobronchial tree to contract more intensely in response to a given stimulus than it does in the response seen in normal individuals. This condition is present in virtually all symptomatic patients with asthma. The most prominent manifestation of this smooth muscle contraction is a decrease in airway caliber that can be readily measured in the pulmonary function laboratory.
