Metformin-induced hepatitis; paliperidone-related peripheral edema; vasospastic angina induced by oral capecitabine; skin hyperpigmentation due to long-term voriconazole therapy; vaccine-associated measles.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this feature is to heighten awareness of specific adverse drug reactions (ADRs), discuss methods of prevention, and promote reporting of ADRs to the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) MedWatch program (800-FDA-1088). If you have reported an interesting, preventable ADR to MedWatch, please consider sharing the account with our readers. Write to Dr. Mancano at ISMP, 200 Lakeside Drive, Suite 200, Horsham, PA 19044 (phone: 215-707-4936; e-mail: mmancano@temple.edu). Your report will be published anonymously unless otherwise requested. This feature is provided by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) in cooperation with the FDA's MedWatch program and Temple University School of Pharmacy. ISMP is an FDA MedWatch partner.

Project description:AimsCoronary microvascular dysfunction and/or vasospasm are potential causes of ischaemia in patients with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). We tested the hypothesis that these patients also have functional abnormalities in peripheral small arteries.Methods and resultsPatients were prospectively enrolled and categorised as having microvascular angina (MVA), vasospastic angina (VSA) or normal control based on invasive coronary artery function tests incorporating probes of endothelial and endothelial-independent function (acetylcholine and adenosine). Gluteal biopsies of subcutaneous fat were performed in 81 subjects (62 years, 69% female, 59 MVA, 11 VSA, and 11 controls). Resistance arteries were dissected enabling study using wire myography. Maximum relaxation to ACh (endothelial function) was reduced in MVA vs. controls [median 77.6 vs. 98.7%; 95% confidence interval (CI) of difference 2.3-38%; P = 0.0047]. Endothelium-independent relaxation [sodium nitroprusside (SNP)] was similar between all groups. The maximum contractile response to endothelin-1 (ET-1) was greater in MVA (median 121%) vs. controls (100%; 95% CI of median difference 4.7-45%, P = 0.015). Response to the thromboxane agonist, U46619, was also greater in MVA (143%) vs. controls (109%; 95% CI of difference 13-57%, P = 0.003). Patients with VSA had similar abnormal patterns of peripheral vascular reactivity including reduced maximum relaxation to ACh (median 79.0% vs. 98.7%; P = 0.03) and increased response to constrictor agonists including ET-1 (median 125% vs. 100%; P = 0.02). In all groups, resistance arteries were ≈50-fold more sensitive to the constrictor effects of ET-1 compared with U46619.ConclusionsSystemic microvascular abnormalities are common in patients with MVA and VSA. These mechanisms may involve ET-1 and were characterized by endothelial dysfunction and enhanced vasoconstriction.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov registration is NCT03193294.
