Key result
Lipid-lowering therapy with statins is currently only recommended for patients with aortic stenosis who also have concurrent hyperlipidemia.
Why the study?
Does statin therapy reduce the hemodynamic progression of calcific aortic stenosis?

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports limiting statins to aortic stenosis with hyperlipidemia; leaves open non-lipid targets for slowing progression.
Rosenhek et al. (2008) conducted a review in Calcific aortic stenosis. Statin therapy was evaluated. Lipid-lowering therapy with statins is currently only recommended for patients with aortic stenosis who also have concurrent hyperlipidemia.
