New page

'''Emphysema''' is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) involving damage to the air sacs ([[alveoli]]) in the lungs. As a result, the body does not get the oxygen it needs. Emphysema makes it hard for the victim to catch their breath. They may also have a chronic cough and have trouble breathing during exercise.

The most common cause is cigarette smoking. Quitting can help prevent getting-or alleviate-the disease.<ref>http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/emphysema.html</ref>
