Obstructive Airway Diseases | Internal Medicine

How it begins

Estudio integral de las enfermedades que cursan con limitación al flujo aéreo. Cubre la fisiopatología molecular, los fundamentos clínicos y espirométricos, la patogenia inflamatoria, la clasificación actualizada (GOLD 2024, GINA 2024), el manejo farmacológico y las estrategias terapéuticas avanzadas incluyendo biológicos, con correlación clínica continua.
