COPD Is/Is Not a Systemic Disease? is an expert-edited volume that rigorously examines whether Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) should be regarded solely as a lung-centered illness or recognized as a systemic inflammatory condition with widespread implications. Structured around in-depth expert discussions, analysis of biomarkers, and clinical considerations, the book challenges traditional views of COPD by investigating whether systemic abnormalities are secondary to pulmonary pathology—or reflections of a broader systemic dysfunction. It is an essential resource for clinicians, pulmonologists, and public health professionals interested in the evolving conceptual and clinical understanding of COPD.
