What is the Role of National Jewish Health and Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD)?

(Also Known as Paradoxical Vocal Cord Motion or PVCM)

Doctors and researchers at National Jewish Health are continuing to discover more about Vocal Cord Dysfunction (also known as Paradoxical Vocal Fold Motion, or PVFM), a condition that may mimic asthma. In addition, National Jewish Health offers a variety of programs that can help people with known or suspected VCD. Doctors and a team of specialists can work together to evaluate the condition and determine the best treatment program. National Jewish Health's long-standing intensive specialization in respiratory diseases has been instrumental in our success in treating this newly recognized medical condition.
