ABSTRACT

Pulmonary diseases are increasingly important causes of morbidity and mortality in the modern world (Ries et al., 2007). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common chronic lung disease, and a major cause of lung-related death and disability (Fishman, 2008). COPD is characterized by chronic airflow limitation, progressive and largely irreversible, associated with an abnormal inflammatory reaction (Ancochea Bermudez et al., 2009). COPD is very disabling and features extra-pulmonary manifestations, but it can be prevented and treated.
