Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains one of the main problems of pulmonology (A.G. Chuchalin et al., 2004; E.I.Shmelev, 2005; JM Anto, 2001; G. Viegi, 2006). Its relevance is due to its high proportion in the structure of general
morbidity, disability and mortality (A.N. Kokosov, 2000; KR Chapman et al., 2006). According to WHO forecasts, by 2020, mortality from COPD will rank 5th among all causes of death. Unfortunately, the gold standard for COPD diagnostics – spirography and piclowmetry – do not always reflect a reliable picture of the disease, which makes it difficult to prescribe treatment.
