Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Overview


Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) refers to a group of lung diseases that block air flow as you exhale, and make it more difficult for you to breathe.

Emphysema and chronic asthmatic bronchitis are the two main conditions that compose COPD. In all cases, the damage to your airways can interfere with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your lungs.

COPD is a major cause of death worldwide and the disease. Most COPD is caused by smoking in the long term and can be prevented by not smoking or quitting once. This damage to the lungs can not be reversed, so treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and minimize the damage.
