Learning Objectives
• Explain proposed mechanisms for cross-reactivity
between ACEIs and ARBs
3
Case Vignette
BB is a 56-year old white male with a prior medical
history significant for hypertension, chronic kidney
disease, diabetes, and coronary artery disease. He
currently takes atorvastatin, metformin, sitagliptin,
sevelamer, and telmisartan.

What is Angioedema?
• Localized, nonpitting and nonpruritic swelling
• Extravasation of plasma into subcutaneous tissue
• Common locations:
– Face
– Lips Rarely: intestinal tract
– Tongue
– Respiratory tract
• Vasoactive mediators
– Bradykinin
– Substance P

• ACEI-induced angioedema
– Accumulation of bradykinin and substance P
– Slow clearance via alternative mechanisms
• ARB-induced angioedema
– ARBs increase circulating bradykinin
– Upregulation of AT2 receptors and kinin-NO-cGMP pathway
• Negative tonic effect on ACE?
