Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPDs) refer to long-term respiratory problems that usually include obstructed airflow and breathing issues. These diseases generally worsen over time and have a negative impact on the respiratory efficiency. Use of tobacco, environmental factors, and genetics play a central role in the acquisition of these diseases.
