Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Fluvastatin on Inflammatory Markers in Patients With Aortic Stenosis.

Summary

Atherosclerosis and aortic stenosis share inflammatory etiopathogenic characteristics in common. We hypothesized that statins therapy would decrease inflammatory markers concentrations in patients with degenerative aortic stenosis and halt the haemodynamic progression of the disease.
