Overview: “Lung Health Updates for Primary Care Providers: Conversations with NHLBI” is a series of CME podcast episodes produced by Pri-Med in partnership with Learn More Breathe Better®, a program of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. In this episode looking at case studies of patients with reduced lung function, we are joined by Dr. Mihaela Stefan, a Program Officer with NHLBI’s Division of Lung Diseases, and Dr. Elizabeth Oelsner, general internist and Irving Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Department of Medicine Division of General Medicine. We’ll be discussing profiles of three patients with reduced lung function, including an asymptomatic smoker, a smoker with respiratory symptoms but without spirometric evidence of COPD, and a COPD patient with history suggestive of AAT deficiency. So let’s begin.
