Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 3.1 Primary objectives 1.In a consecutive population of patients with mild-moderate AS to compare a.the rate of progression of peak aortic velocity (m/s) assessed by echocardiography b.the rate of progression of aortic valve calcification (AU) assessed by non-contrast CT after 24 months treatment with losartan compared with placebo. ;Secondary Objective: 3.2 Secondary objectives 1.In a consecutive population of patients with mild-moderate AS to compare a.LV geometry and mass (relative wall-thickness, LV mass index) assessed by echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. b.Diastolic function assessed by echocardiography c.Systolic function (LV ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain) assessed by echocardiography c.Markers of LV filling pressures (E/e’, NT-proBNP) after 24 months treatment with losartan compared with placebo treatment. ;Primary end point(s): a.the rate of progression of peak aortic velocity (m/s) assessed by echocardiography b.the rate of progression of aortic valve calcification (AU) assessed by non-contrast CT ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 24 month

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): a. LV geometry and mass (relative wall-thickness, LV mass index) assessed by echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. b. Diastolic function assessed by echocardiography c. Systolic function (LV ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain) assessed by echocardiography c. Markers of LV filling pressures (E/e’, NT-proBNP) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 24 month
