Effects of Rosuvastatin on Aortic Stenosis Progression

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of rosuvastatin compared to usual care in patients diagnosed with aortic valvular stenosis. Patients must have a diagnosis of mild to moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and no clinical indication for the use of cholesterol lowering agents. A multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, with a two year recruitment period, and a treatment duration of a minimum of 3 years from the time of the last patient randomized to a maximum of 5 years.
