Voelkel: COPD-vascular alterations Hae Sim Park: Phenotypes & endotypes of AERD David Lynch: CT imaging in COPD Yasutaka Nakano: Practical approach to ACOS Edwin Silverman: Network Medicine Approaches to COPD Genetics in COPD

5 Heterogeneity is NOT my goal. Heterogeneity Complex Stratification Phenotype Endotype Best Treatment Precise

6 To Overcome Heterogeneity 1 Phenotype stratification 2 Endotype stratification Molecular pathogenesis 3 Treatability stratification Treatable traits Best Treatment 4
