O enfisema é definido como o aumento anormal e permanente dos espaços aéreos distais aos bronquíolos terminais. Isto é acompanhado pela destruição das paredes alveolares, sem fibrose evidente (ou seja, não há fibrose visível a olho nu). O enfisema pode existir em indivíduos que não tenham obstrução das vias aéreas; entretanto, é mais comum em pacientes que têm obstrução moderada ou grave ao fluxo aéreo. | |||
