For what its worth, I ran the abstract by a PhD epidemiologist friend who teaches epidemiology at a medical school. Based on the abstract, he said simply that it would appear that ACE inhibitors could be a risk factor, but not a trigger for CRPS.
I would still be curious to know what percentage of RSD/CRPS sufferers are on ACE inhibitors. I'll bet it's very low based on the heavy weighting of women to men and relatively young population, not likely to be prescribed them! And many others with hypertension are taking something other than ACE inhibitors, i.e. b-blockers, calcium channel blockers, etc. Last edited by Dubious; 11-30-2009 at 08:43 PM. Reason: added text |
