What Is Asthma? Asthma A chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells and factors play a role 1 Inflammation results in 1 Recurrent symptoms Variable airflow obstruction Increase in existing bronchial hyperresponsiveness Asthma patients may have an accelerated decline in lung function and develop airflow limitation that is not fully reversible 2 5 1.

Preventable and treatable Associated with significant concomitant chronic diseases which increase its morbidity and mortality Characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is: due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases 23 Global Strategy for the Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017.

COPD Arises From Damage and Inflammation in the Respiratory Tract Respiratory Anatomy Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Alveoli 25 Image adapted from AstraZeneca website. Accessed June 2, 2015. 2017 AstraZeneca
Chronic Bronchitis and Airway Inflammation In healthy lungs, the airways are elastic and flexible With chronic bronchitis, airways can become swollen or thicker than normal Chronic bronchitis may cause increased mucus production Airways may become partially obstructed, making it harder to get air out of the lung. The resulting hyperinflation also makes inspiration difficult 26 NIH. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. COPD Learn More Breathe Better.

Emphysema Is Caused by Damage to the Alveoli Walls Healthy alveoli are elastic and capable of springing back to their original size after active inspiration Emphysema involves damage to the walls of the alveoli In emphysema, alveoli lose their elasticity, which impairs natural passive exhalation, resulting in trapping of air and hyperinflation 27 American Thoracic website.
