Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. It includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, and is primarily caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke.
