Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are a commonly prescribed, effective medication in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. Several side-effects of dental relevance can occur including angioedema of the lips, mouth and throat. This adverse effect is well reported and can be fatal, but it is not always recognised by clinicians, as the angioedema does not always have a clear relationship with the commencement of the medication. The cases of angioedema reported here all presented in a dental setting and highlight both the delayed onset and the chronic recurrent nature of ACE inhibitor induced angioedema. |
