ACEI Angioedema Question - From Gary Unglik

Thanks to Gary Unglik for his contribution to our discussion of mortality risk in angioedema:
he extends the question to include instances where chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) displays angioedema as well:
"I would echo Theo's question regarding mortality risk from ACE-I angioedema and would like to broaden the question to mortality risk from angioedema in CSU with angioedema. I am not aware of any reported deaths from this either and it directly impacts on the decision as to whether to provide an epipen in those CSU patients who have had upper airway angioedema (or even perceived upper airway angioedema) -  Regards Gary"
Send items surrounding discussions (clinical or laboratory), questions, queries on assay availability, conundrums, information, etc. to Glenn Reeves for dissemination
