Angioedema is a life-threatening adverse drug reaction associated with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, characterized by localized swelling in the deep layers of the skin. Well-established evidence indicates an up to fivefold higher incidence of RAAS inhibitor-induced angioedema in self-identified Black patients compared to White patients. The mechanisms underlying this health disparity remain poorly understood and are often attributed to race, a poor proxy for interindivi...
