Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: evaluate the role of losartan vs atenolol in the prevention of aortic dilatation in patients with marfan syndrome;Secondary Objective: Variations in elastic properties of the aortic wall. Incidence of clinical aspects: aortic disection, aortic rupture, aortic operation or death. Validation of the dose and efficacy of losartan. Modificacion of dural ectasia;Primary end point(s): Main variable assessed is the progression of aortic dilatation and one of the secondary variables is elasticity changes in the aorta wall in patients treated by losartan vs atenolol during 3 years of follow-up. Aorta dilatation was choosen as the main variable since it is related to dissection and aortic rupture. | — |
