Do statins improve severity of aortic valve stenosis, freedom from valve replacement, or cardiovascular mortality in patients with aortic valve stenosis?
Do statins improve severity of aortic valve stenosis, freedom from valve replacement, or cardiovascular mortality in patients with aortic valve stenosis?
Statins do not improve echocardiographic severity, freedom from valve replacement, or cardiovascular mortality in patients with aortic valve stenosis, supporting current guidelines that there is no effective medical therapy for this condition.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
