Description
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory condition characterized by persistent airflow limitation. It encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema, both of which are caused primarily by long-term exposure to harmful substances, especially cigarette smoke. Environmental and occupational exposures, as well as genetic factors like alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, can also contribute.
