For sev­eral years it was com­monly main­tained that Fry­deryk Chopin died from laryn­geal and pul­monary tuber­cu­lo­sis. Recently, how­ever, a hypoth­e­sis was advanced that the real cause of the composer’s death was cys­tic fibro­sis or chronic obstruc­tive pul­monary dis­ease (COPD). These hypothe­ses were dis­cussed, for the first time ever, dur­ing a debate organ­ised by FCUM and attended by the lead­ing experts on pul­monary med­i­cine. The par­tic­i­pants pre­sented the lat­est med­ical devel­op­ments in their field and shared thoughts on whether the great com­poser could have lived longer than his 39 years to cre­ate even more mas­ter­pieces had he had access to today’s diag­nos­tic solu­tions. read more »
