Description:

This animated video reviews the pathophysiology and treatment of asthma and COPD. Asthma is caused by inflammation and hyperreactivity of the airways. Inhaled corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment of asthma. It decreases the inflammation and decreases mucous production. Inhaled Bronchodilators are also used to decrease the hyperreactivity.

I wish everyone would go on videomd to gain knowledge and learn about their bodies. Asthma and COPD are devastating diseases. Stopping smoking is key to your lung health.
