Key result
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors induced angio-oedema in 36 Swedish patients, with 77% of reactions occurring within the first three weeks of treatment and resolving upon discontinuation.

What is the clinical course and incidence of angio-oedema induced by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors?
Angio-oedema is a rare but potentially life-threatening adverse reaction to ACE inhibitors that typically occurs within the first three weeks of treatment.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ACE inhibitor angioedema warrants vigilance for early onset; leaves open precise incidence and risk stratification in unselected populations.
Hedner et al. (1992) conducted an observational in Angio-oedema (n=1,345). Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors was evaluated on Clinical course of angio-oedema reactions. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors induced angio-oedema in 36 Swedish patients, with 77% of reactions occurring within the first three weeks of treatment and resolving upon discontinuation.
