Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor-induced angioedema.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 our understanding of the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management of this medical emergency.

متن کاملAngiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors-induced angioedema treated by C1 esterase inhibitor concentrate (Berinert®): about one case and review of the therapeutic arsenal
C1 esterase inhibitor (Berinert®) is generally used to treat severe attack of hereditary angioedema. We describe here the case of a patient who presented with a severe angioedema induced by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) endangering her life. It could be successfully treated with that medicine.
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-...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor induced angioedema commonly involves the head and neck area. We report a case of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor induced intestinal angioedema in a heart transplant recipient on mTOR immunosuppression. A 36-year-old Caucasian woman with history of heart transplantation on sirolimus, tacrolimus and prednisone presented to the Emergency Department w...
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 ...
