It’s absolutely critical to proactively detect alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) in our patients with COPD, but it’s just as important to know how to manage patients with this deficiency once we reach a diagnosis. That’s why Dr. David Mares joins Dr. Charles Turck to share his experiences and a patient case in managing AATD-associated COPD. Dr. David Mares is an adult pulmonology and critical care specialist at Ascension St. Vincent Anderson Hospital in Indiana.
