Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that results in the destruction of the alveoli in the lungs. Breathing exercises, such as pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing, can help individuals with emphysema improve their breathing efficiency, reduce shortness of breath, and increase their overall lung function. Cardiac rehab, lung transplant, and diet therapy are not typically used in the treatment of emphysema.
