Overlap Syndrome in Respiratory Medicine: Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]
Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Medicine, 2014 Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent chronic diseases in the general population. Both are characterized by similar mechanisms: airway inflammation, airway obstruction, and airway hyperresponsiveness. However, the distinction between the two obstructive diseases is not always clear.
