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 کاملDipeptidyl peptidase IV in angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor associated angioedema.
Angioedema is a potentially life-threatening adverse effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Bradykinin and substance P, substrates of angiotensin-converting enzyme, increase vascular permeability and cause tissue edema in animals. Studies indicate that amino-terminal degradation of these peptides, by aminopeptidase P and dipeptidyl peptidase IV, may be impaired in individuals with ...
متن کاملAngioedema associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use: outcome after switching to a different treatment.
BACKGROUND Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are associated with angioedema episodes that are potentially life-threatening. Few data are available on the outcome of patients reporting this adverse effect when they are switched to another drug. Scattered reports of angioedema associated with angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) use question the safety of using these drugs in patien...
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 کاملAngiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-induced unilateral tongue angioedema.
Angioedema is a frequently reported side effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. The literature suggests that immunosuppressed transplant patients are at an increased risk for this adverse condition. A 62-year-old African American man presented with acute unilateral angioedema attributed to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor initiation. A PubMed literature search regarding unil...
