Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adult patients (greater than 18 years, either sex) with COPD diagnosed according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria. Only patients with quadriceps weakness will be enrolled into this randomised controlled trial (RCT).

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Clinically unstable patients (within one month of exacerbation)
  • 2\. Those with a permanent pacemaker (which is a contraindication to magnetic stimulation), or significant co\-morbidity
  • 3\. Patients with an accepted indication for ACE inhibition (left ventricular dysfunction, diabetes) or a contraindication such as renovascular disease
  • 4\. Creatinine clearance (estimated) less than 50 ml/min
  • 5\. Hypotension
  • 6\. Use of anticoagulants (contraindication to biopsy) or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE\-I) or angiotensin II (ATII) receptor antagonists
  • 7\. Allergy to ACE\-I
  • 8\. Pregnancy
  • 9\. Patients who have participated in a pulmonary rehabilitation programme within the past three months

Phase 1
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACE) Induced AngioedemaBERINERTRandomized, double-blind, two arms, multicenter, Phase III study of Berinert for treatment of ACE induced AngioedemaAngiotensin – Converting – Enzyme – Inhibitors (ACEi) are used in the treatment of several types of cardiovascular and renal diseases. A known side effect of ACEi are angioedema of the head and neck region. These can lead to severe dyspnoea and the need for intubation and are thought to be bradykinin mediated. Up until now there is no study-evaluated conservative therapeutic concept for the treatment of these patients.MedDRA version: 18.1Level: HLTClassification code 10002425Term: AngioedemasSystem Organ Class: 100000004870Therapeutic area: Diseases [C] - Respiratory Tract Diseases [C08]
