Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Disease-a-Month, 1988
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is equated with chronic bronchitis and emphysema as one disease entity. In COPD airflow limitation is relatively persistent--unlike asthma. Tests for "small-airways disease" form no part of routine practice, for their accuracy in detecting pathological change is debatable.

Pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1995
The prevalence of COPD has increased as mortality from the two organ systems affected by the same risk factors of smoking, heart attacks and strokes, has decreased. Once diagnosed, COPD is progressive and may lead to disability, usually due to dyspnea, at a relatively early age (60 to 80 years of age).

Pulmonary Vascular Disease in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
AbstractPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a vascular disease characterized by pulmonary artery remodeling and right heart failure. PH related to COPD is a precapillary form of the disease, with hemodynamic measurements including a mean pulmonary artery pressure of greater than 20 mm Hg, a wedge pressure of less than 15 mm Hg, and a pulmonary vascular ...
