:A 54 years old female patient with a mitral valve prolapse and a rheumatoid arthritis treated with steroids was admitted with dyspnea and hypotension, that started 30 min after taking a pill containing enapril and hydrochlorothiazide. Hemodynamic monitoring with a Swan-Ganz catheter showed a pulmonary capillary pressure of 5 mm Hg, a systemic vascular resistance of 887 (dyn sec)/cm5 and a cardiac output of 10 l/min.
