Chest and Respiratory Articles
Chest and Respiratory medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the respiratory system, including the lungs, chest wall, and airways. Respiratory diseases are diverse and can range from acute respiratory infections to chronic respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chest physicians work with other healthcare providers to diagnose and manage respiratory conditions, such as pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, and critical care specialists. Treatment may involve the use of medication, oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, or surgery.
