ACE inhibitor use was associated with higher bronchospasm risk; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Do ACE inhibitors increase the risk of bronchospasm and cough compared to lipid lowering drugs?
ACE inhibitors are associated with a significantly increased risk of bronchospasm and cough compared to lipid-lowering drugs, independent of dose or past history of bronchospasm.
