Asthma and Dyspnea Center

The primary focus of the Asthma and Dyspnea Center is to provide a comprehensive multidisciplinary service for the evaluation and treatment of patients with symptoms of dyspnea, "shortness of breath," or "breathlessness." The Asthma and Dyspnea Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is one of only two clinics in the United States devoted to better understanding the causes of dyspnea. Through research, advanced medical care and patient education, the goal is to relieve symptoms of shortness of breath. With state-of-the-art diagnostics, specially-trained clinical specialists provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing symptoms of dyspnea, including patients with asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, or a variety of other medical conditions that may be associated with symptoms of breathlessness or dyspnea.Affiliation: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
