S04_E18 - The ABCs of COPD

With Special Guest:  Dr. Caroline Davis, MD

Did you know that 6.5% of Americans have physician-diagnosed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?  That's a pretty staggering statistic...  You might think that people get it from smoking, and well, you'd be right.  But that's not the only thing that can cause it!  COPD is a disease of the airways where people have difficulty getting air out  of there lungs.  But why is that an issue?  Who's most likely to be afflicted with this condition?  And best yet, how can you avoid it altogether?

Joining us on Episode 18 of our show is Dr. Caroline Davis, a pulmonologist at Hennepin Healthcare, and just the expert to help us get to the bottom of some of these questions.  We'll go over the common causes of COPD, who's at risk, the current and future treatments available, and how this condition differs from other afflictions, like emphysema and asthma.  COPD can be a serious disease, but there are a lot great treatments available, and believe us when we say that at the end of this episode, you'll be breathing a little easier.  Join us!

We're open to your comments or ideas for future shows!
