Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exhibit dominant features of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and/or asthma, with a common phenotype of airflow obstruction. COPD pulmonary physiology reflects the sum of pathological changes in COPD, which can occur in large central airways, small peripheral airways, and the lung parenchyma.

Chronic bronchitis can be defined as a chronic productive cough lasting more than 3 months and occurring within a span of 2 years. There is a strong causal association with smoking, and it is very often secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Chronic Bronchitis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Chronic bronchitis (CB) is a common but variable phenomenon in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It has numerous clinical consequences, including an accelerated decline in lung function, greater risk of the development of airflow obstruction in smokers, a predisposition to lower respiratory tract infection, higher exacerbation ...
Breathlessness in chronic bronchitis is a symptom of widespread narrowing of the airways. As a result of increased airflow resistance in the small airways, often associated with loss of elastic tension of the lung, the central bronchi are com pressed during expiration and set a limit to the flow rate.
