Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Health Center

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to a group of lung diseases which block airflow and make it increasingly difficult to breathe. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two main conditions which make up COPD, but COPD can also refer to damage caused by chronic asthmatic bronchitis. In all cases, damage to the airways eventually interferes with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.
