Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

COPD is a condition in the lung that can be caused by two types of infections: bronchitis and emphysema. Both infections cause a blockage in the airway, which results in difficulty in breathing. Moreover, each year the United States has about 140,000 deaths related to COPD, which is approximately 1 death every 4 minutes. People between the ages of 65 to 74 years have a higher risk to cause COPD. Furthermore, 75% of COPD deaths are caused by smoking and 25% of COPD deaths are caused by either second-hand smoke or other conditions.
