Restrictive lung disease is a category of extrapulmonary, pleural, or parenchymal respiratory diseases that restrict lung expansion, resulting in a decreased lung volume, an increased work of breathing, and inadequate ventilation and/or oxygenation. Pulmonary function test demonstrates a decrease in the forced vital capacity.
The description does not seem complete as it does not address the "chronic" aspect. Request inclusion into relevant ontology Wikipedia was used as the description source. Perhaps rather use NCIT's "Restrictive Lung Disease", and then use wikipedia as source for additional info. Did not find "Chronic Restrictive Lung Disease" in ontologies, but did find "Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease"...perhaps there was confusion between these terms when giving the name?
