Effects of High Dose Atorvastatin in Patients With Surgical Aortic Stenosis
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France, December 2008
First Received: December 17, 2008   Last Updated: December 29, 2008   History of Changes
Sponsored by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
Information provided by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00811330
  Purpose

The purpose of the study is to see if statin therapy will optimize myocardial response to cardiopulmonary bypass during aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic valve stenosis (AVS) (Phase I) and optimize left ventricular reverse remodeling following AVR (Phase II). Preliminary evidence indicates that perioperative statin therapy reduce mortality and morbidity following cardiac surgery. Pleiotropic effects of statins may induce myocardial preconditioning and optimize myocardial and systemic responses to cardiopulmonary bypass during AVR. Furthermore statin therapy after AVR may contribute to an optimal left ventricular reverse remodeling.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • ♦ Phase I: To study changes on inflammatory markers after aortic valve replacement. ♦ Phase II: To study changes in left ventricular mass at the end of the study (12 months). [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Phase I: To study changes on mitochondrial function, reactive oxygen species, and perioperative systolic and diastolic functions. Phase II: To study changes on clinical status, systolic and diastolic functions during the one-year follow-up. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
