Abstract
We report a case of a 58-year-old woman who had angiotensin converting enzy me inhibitor-induced angioedema after she underwent a biopsy of a hypophary ngeal mass. The angioedema was associated with severe transient myocardial dysfunction documented on echocardiography. She did not have anaphylaxis or coronary artery disease. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of transient myocardial dysfunction in the setting of angiotensin convertin g enzyme inhibitor-induced angioedema without anaphylaxis.
