PNEUMOLOGY


At the "Corte della Salute," it is possible to undergo specialist consultations and spirometry tests for the diagnosis and treatment of lung and bronchial diseases.

One of the most common chronic respiratory diseases is asthma, affecting approximately one-tenth of the adult population and one-fifteenth of the paediatric population in industrialised countries. Its diagnosis is made using spirometry, a non-invasive respiratory function test that measures the volumes of air inhaled and exhaled over time.

Another widespread airway disease with a rising incidence is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a chronic condition often associated with cigarette smoking. Characterised by emphysema and chronic bronchitis, it is a growing cause of mortality and morbidity.

The Pulmonology Specialist at the "Corte della Salute" offers her professional expertise for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases and other conditions, such as sleep apnoea and chronic cough.
