Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an all too common
lung condition which varies markedly in severity between
individuals. The term COPD covers conditions such as chronic
bronchitis and emphysema, and around 80% of cases are believed to
develop as a result of smoking. Lung problems, which often fail to
improve significantly over time, cause symptoms such as
breathlessness, wheezing, coughing, a reduced ability to exercise,
and frequent chest infections.
COPD: The Facts is written primarily for sufferers and their
families, and will help readers to understand the disease and its
symptoms. The book describes in detail how COPD is diagnosed and
covers tests and treatments that patients are likely to experience.
It dicusses modern approaches to the problems COPD sufferers
experience and provides and up-to-date and informative guide to the
disease. Examples of patients' experiences are included throughout
the text to illustrate the problems faced by people with COPD, and
advice is offered to help sufferers improve their overall quality
of life.
