Through in, depth exploration and practical insight, this book delves into:
• The science behind angioedema, how it occurs, why it happens, and what makes ACE inhibitors a unique trigger.
• Clinical manifestations and diagnostic strategies that empower patients and clinicians to distinguish between allergic, hereditary, and drug, induced forms.
