Summary: Patients with COPD often make few complaints despite experiencing considerable disability. As well as the characteristic shortness of breath, the disease is associated with a number of comorbidities that can present major clinical problems. However, with early recognition and intervention, further deterioration can be prevented, and lung function, general health status and functional ability improved. In this fully updated third edition of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, the authors take a comprehensive look at: the disease process, its causes and progression, the relationship between asthma and COPD, the investigations used to assess the severity and stage of COPD, and the interventions that may reduce the risk of developing COPD.
