| Description: |
| Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an umbrella term used to describe patients with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, or any combination among those three ailments. This examines the impairments of COPD, including shortness of breath and mobility. Several case studies reveal the clinical and the human dimensions of COPD, while newly developed drug treatments for the disease are highlighted. Expert commentary comes from John Kirkwood, President and CEO of the American Lung Association; Dr. Frank Rahaghi of the Cleveland Clinic Florida; and Dr. Gene Colice of Washington Hospital Center. |
