Angioedema and Epinephrine Causing a Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy.

Presentations of angioedema range from mild edema to immediate life-threatening airway involvement. Management is typically straightforward and dependent on the degree of presentation. In our case, a 61-year-old female presented with angioedema requiring immediate intubation. Before admission to the intensive care unit, a screening ECG was obtained that revealed ST segment elevations which redirected our patient to the cardiac catherization lab. Our patient was ultimately diagnosed with a stress-induced cardiomyopathy after initially presenting with ACE-inhibitor induced angioedema.
