This book explains how analysis of the heterogeneity of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) enhances understanding of the
condition and leads to improved, personalized treatment. State of
the art knowledge is presented on a range of issues related to the
heterogeneity of COPD, such as phenotypes (clinical, physiologic,
radiologic, etc.), genotypes, and the tools to be used for
dissecting heterogeneity (CT, MRI, biomarkers, etc.). Especially
modern radiologic imaging holds promise in this context, and its
role is described in detail with the aid of numerous illustrations.
The implications of the heterogeneity for personalized treatment
are clearly identified, with description of an appropriate tailored
treatment strategy for each subgroup of patients. Information is
provided on both current and emerging strategies, including
bronchoscopic lung volume reduction and approaches to the
management of pulmonary hypertension and comorbidities. This book
will be a great asset in clinical practice and research for all who
have an interest in COPD, a leading cause of morbidity and
mortality worldwide.
