It addresses many of the key issues surrounding the diseases, its causes, clinical assessment and management.

Arguments are therefore supported by the most recently available evidence. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - Critical Debates provides the reader with an up-to-date interpretation of the clinical trial data in this field and their relevance to daily practice
