The Animated Atlas of COPD is a collection of animated videos that clearly accentuate the physiological changes that occur in disease development, inductive agents and elucidate the immune response with disease progression. These animated videos provide understanding of the diagnosis and basis for therapeutic techniques in the management of COPD.
