Synopsis

Angioedema is something we'll all encounter in the acute setting, whether we recognise it or not... Understanding the different causes and mechanisms is imperative to ensuring the patients get treatment that is not only effective, but in extremis potentially lifesaving. In this episode we talk through the condition; from clinical presentation, causative agents, mechanisms of action, differentials and the evidence base of treatment. Get in touch with any comments on the podcast, ensure to read the papers that are referenced yourself and draw your own conclusions. Enjoy! Simon & Rob
