Abstract
Angiotensin-I-converting-enzyme inhibitors are currently used to treat more than 40 million cardiovascular patients worldwide. These drugs have a variety of acute adverse effects, the nature of which depends on the clinical context, and which include angioedema, anaphylactoid reactions in hemodialysis patients, and severe hypotensive reactions during blood product transfusions. These adverse effects result from a combination of factors affecting the synthesis, metabolism and pharmacological activity of bradykinin and des-arginine9-bradykinin, two powerful vasodilatory and pro-inflammatory peptides. Experimental evidence obtained in our laboratory suggests that acquired, genetic and pharmacological factors can influence the risk of these rare but potentially life-threatening effects.
