    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of progressive lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. [8] GOLD 2024 defined COPD as a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea or shortness of breath, cough, sputum production or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis ...

    An acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB), is a sudden worsening of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms including shortness of breath, quantity and color of phlegm that typically lasts for several days.

  4. Obstructive lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_lung_disease

    Obstructive lung disease is a category of respiratory disease characterized by airway obstruction. Many obstructive diseases of the lung result from narrowing (obstruction) of the smaller bronchi and larger bronchioles, often because of excessive contraction of the smooth muscle itself. It is generally characterized by inflamed and easily ...

  6. Emphysema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphysema

    When associated with significant airflow limitation, emphysema is a major subtype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow. [10] [11] Without COPD, the finding of emphysema on a CT lung scan still confers a higher mortality risk in tobacco smokers ...

    These include the features of chronic bronchitis such as inflammation of the small airways and mucus production or hypersecretion. [1] Peribronchial inflammation may lead to fibrosis (obliterative bronchiolitis) [1] as well as features of emphysema, including inflammation leading to alveolar destruction resulting in lung hyperinflation and air ...

  9. Restrictive lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictive_lung_disease

    Restrictive lung diseases are a category of extrapulmonary, pleural, or parenchymal respiratory diseases that restrict lung expansion, [2] resulting in a decreased lung volume, an increased work of breathing, and inadequate ventilation and/or oxygenation. Pulmonary function test demonstrates a decrease in the forced vital capacity.
