Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angioedema
PURPOSE To investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of angioedema associated with the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) in an outpatient allergy department. METHODS A retrospective review of medical records of new patients seen in an allergy clinic. Demographic and clinical data of patients with ACEI-induced angioedema were analyzed. RESULTS Nine (0.37%) ...
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...

To the Editor: We read with interest the article on the effects of nabilone on postoperative pain by Pierre Beaulieu.1 While it is unfortunate that his results did not generate firm conclusions, we believe that descriptive subgroup analyses may have yielded some important information regarding the effects of nabilone on postoperative morphine consumption and side-effects. Nineteen of the 41 pat...
متن کاملAngiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angioedema: estimating the risk.
The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are now widely prescribed for the treatment of hypertension as well as for providing cardiovascular and renal protection in patients with heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and at high risk of cardiovascular events. Worldwide, it is estimated that tens of millions of patients are now taking these agents. Given this widespread exposure to AC...
متن کاملSmall Bowel Angioedema Secondary to Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
Small bowel angioedema induced by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors is a rare clinicopathologic entity. It frequently poses a diagnostic challenge and is often not recognized before surgical exploration. The present study illustrates that clinical awareness for this condition and adequate use of radiologic investigations can help make the correct diagnosis of ACE inhibitor-associat...
