Summary

The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the pulmonary hyperinflation and its immediate reversibility to a short acting beta2 agonist test in uncontrolled persistent asthmatic patients with dyspnea.

Detailed description

The other objectives are : * the evaluation of the hyperinflation defined by an increase of the residual volume (RV), * the observation of the relationship between the hyperinflation and the asthma characteristics, * the study of the improvement of the functional parameters after a reversibility test * the evaluation of the correlation between hyperinflation parameters evolution, chest tightness and dyspnea
