Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-induced angioedema.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors frequently are prescribed for the management of cardiovascular disorders. In addition to their therapeutic potential, ACE inhibitors are associated with numerous adverse effects, some of which may be lethal. Angioedema is an uncommon but serious acute event that may affect any individual taking an ACE inhibitor. This review outlines the advances in...
متن کاملTreatment of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor related angioedema with icatibant
Background The absolute risk of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor angioedema is 0.3% [1]. The mechanism is felt to be accumulation of bradykinin. The current treatment is discontinuation of ACE-I inhibitor, and intubation if necessary. Icatibant is a bradykinin receptor antagonist, useful in treating hereditary angioedema [2]. We present a patient from a Canadian center who had ACE-...

متن کاملAngioedema Related to Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
The number of cases of acquired angioedema related to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors induced (ACEI-AAE) is on the increase, with a potential concomitant increase in life-threatening attacks of laryngeal edema. Our objective was to determine the main characteristics of ACEI-AAE attacks and, in doing so, the factors associated with likelihood of hospital admission from the emergency dep...
متن کاملangiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor-related angioedema: a case of an unexpected death
angioedema is an asymmetric non-pitting oedema on face, lips, tongue and mucous membranes; any delay in diagnosis and treatment can be fatal. treatment with lisinopril as an angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) inhibitor, can be a reason of angioedema. here we report a case who developed oral-facial edema four years after using lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide. laryngeal oedema is a main cause of ...
