No, emphysema and bronchitis are not the same, though both are forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Emphysema primarily involves the destruction of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs, leading to difficulty in exhaling air. In contrast, bronchitis is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes, resulting in increased mucus production and a persistent cough. While they can occur together, they have distinct causes and symptoms.

Cor pulmonale, which is right-sided heart failure due to lung disease, is more commonly associated with chronic bronchitis than emphysema. This is because chronic bronchitis leads to more significant hypoxia and increased pulmonary vascular resistance, which contributes to the development of cor pulmonale. While emphysema can also lead to cor pulmonale, the effects are generally less pronounced compared to chronic bronchitis. Overall, chronic bronchitis presents a greater risk for the development of this condition.
