About chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition that makes it progressively harder to breathe. It manifests as either chronic bronchitis or emphysema and is often the result of smoking. Symptoms may include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and recurrent respiratory tract infections.
Our pulmonary experts are trained to identify COPD in its earliest stages, so that appropriate treatment can begin sooner, improving long-term outcomes.
