"Introduction
ACE-inhibitor induced angioedema (ACEI-AAG) accounts for about a third of angioedema cases presenting to the emergency department. ACE inhibitors are increasingly popular, with the new JNC 8 guidelines up-grading them to a first-line drug for hypertension. Thus, ACEI-AAG may represent a growing problem. Unfortunately, this is often treated incorrectly, with a medication regimen directed against allergic angioedema (i.e., corticosteroids and antihistamines)."
