Do you capitalize the names of the disease emphysema?

Answer 1

No. You should capitalize diseases that have a proper noun in them, like Down's syndrome, or Grave's disease, but things like myocardial infarction or angina, including emphysema should not be capitalized.

Answer 2

No, the name of the disease "emphysema" is not capitalized unless it is at the beginning of a sentence or part of a proper noun like a title (e.g., Emphysema: A Comprehensive Guide).
