ACEHemmerassoziiertem

ACEHemmerassoziiertem is a term used in German medical literature to describe clinical features, adverse effects, or outcomes that are associated with the use of ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme inhibitors). It is commonly found in journal articles, case reports, and reviews to indicate a relationship between a finding and ACE inhibitor therapy.

ACE inhibitors, or ACE-Hemmer, are a class of medications that block the enzyme responsible for converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This leads to vasodilation, reduced aldosterone secretion, and lower blood pressure. They are widely prescribed for hypertension, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, post-myocardial infarction, and diabetic nephropathy, among other conditions. Common agents include lisinopril, enalapril, ramipril, and captopril.

Associations described as ACEHemmerassoziiertem include a range of effects and signals. The most well-known adverse effects are a dry cough and, less frequently, angioedema. Hyperkalemia and potential deterioration of renal function can occur, particularly in patients with preexisting kidney disease, dehydration, or concurrent medications that raise potassium levels. Other possible, though less frequent, associations include changes in renal hemodynamics, hypotension, and, rarely, skin reactions.

Clinical considerations emphasize careful patient selection, baseline and periodic monitoring of blood pressure, renal function, and electrolyte status, especially potassium. Caution is advised in pregnancy, renal impairment, bilateral renal artery stenosis, and when combining with potassium-sparing drugs. Awareness of ACEHemmerassoziiertem helps clinicians interpret reported findings and manage therapy safely.
