uncountable noun. 1  Emphysema is a serious medical condition that occurs when the lungs become larger and do not work properly, causing difficulty in breathing. 2  a condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are grossly enlarged, causing breathlessness and wheezing. 3  the abnormal presence of air in a tissue or part.
Emphysema is a disease of the lungs. It occurs most often in smokers, but it also occurs in people who regularly breathe in irritants. Emphysema destroys alveoli, which are air sacs in the lungs. The air sacs weaken and eventually break, which reduces the surface area of the lungs and the amount of oxygen that can reach the bloodstream. This makes it harder to breathe, especially when exercising. Emphysema also causes lungs to lose their elasticity.
