Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: -Current use of statines or other study drug -Aortic stenosis predominantly located sub-valvular or supra-valvular -Aortic insufficiency is predominant to aortic stenosis -Aortic insufficiency >3+ or more -Malignancy in last 2 years -Underwent an aortic valve replacement -Medical history of acute rheumatic disease -Significant mitralic valve disease (MI >2+ or MVA <1.5cm²) Contra indications for use of statines.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: -is the use of statines in patients with congenital aortic stenosis leading to less rapid progression of stenosis?;Secondary Objective: -Is the effect of statines on the progession of the aortic stenosis determined by lowered cholesterol or by pleiotropic effects of statines? -Is the use of statinies leading to a less rapid progression of the dilatation of the Aortic Ascendens and of Left Ventriclular Hypertrofia in patients with congenital aortic stenosis? -Which factors (clinical, biochemical, echographic) influence the progression of the stenosis in patients with congenital aortic stenosis? -What is the natural course of concomittant atypical conditions (Left Ventriclular Hypertrofia, dilatation of Aortic Ascendens) in patients with aortic stenosis?;Primary end point(s): Progression of grade of aortic stenosis expressed as peak velocity over the aortic valve measured by echocardiography | — |
