emphysematous
Emphysematous refers to the condition or state related to emphysema, a lung disease that causes shortness of breath due to damage in the walls of the air sacs (also known as alveoli) in the lungs. This leads to larger but fewer air sacs, diminishing the amount of oxygen that can be absorbed. It's mostly associated with smoking and is a major type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
