COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, refractory (non-reversible) asthma, and some forms of bronchiectasis. This disease is characterized by increasing breathlessness. What is Emphysema? Emphysema is a disease in which there is permanent damage to the alveoli. The alveoli are the millions of tiny, elastic air sacs at the very ends of the smallest tubes in the lungs. In emphysema the alveoli become stretched out, and lose their elasticity. Their walls break down, reducing the lungsâ ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Stale air becomes trapped in the lungs and they expand permanently, becoming too large and causing crowding within the chest.
