简要总结

The specific aims of this study are to:

  • Establish baseline levels of circulating MMP-2 and -9 , TIMP-1and- 2 and TGFB levels in individuals with bicuspid aortic valve and ascending aortic or aortic sinus measurements >40mm.
  • Assess the effect on MMP levels during treatment with losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocking agent.
  • In the setting of losartan therapy for one year, evaluate the response of MMP levels in these patients, and clinical outcomes including effects on aortic growth rate

入选标准

  • Adults >age 18 years and < 65 years old
  • Able to give informed consent
  • Presence of a bicuspid aortic valve (functional or true bicommisural)and ascending aorta or sinus of Valsalva >4.0cm
  • No contraindications to treatment with Losartan, an Angiotensin II receptor blocker
  • Able to safely participate in a 4 week drug washout period if currently taking an angiotensin II receptor blocker or ACE inhibitor.

排除标准

  • Unable to safely take losartan due to one or more of the following:
  • Hypersensitivity to losartan or other angiotensin receptor blockers
  • Pregnancy
  • Nursing mothers
  • History of angioedema
  • Hypotension - chronically volume depleted patients
  • Hepatic or renal impairment (Cr>1.5mg/dL)
  • Hyperkalemia (K+>4.8)
  • Renal artery stenosis
  • Severe congestive heart failure (class III-IV)
  • Currently taking potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium
  • Currently taking lithium
  • Prior surgical intervention to aorta or aortic valve
  • Unable or unwilling to give informed consent and follow up with study activities
  • Currently taking an angiotensin receptor blocker or ACE inhibitor specifically for hypertension and are therefore unable to or are unwilling to participate in a 4 week drug washout period.
  • Females of child bearing who are unwilling to practice adequate birth control throughout the study.

Inflammatory Markers Levels

时间窗: Baseline and 12 months

Changes in levels of Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP-2, MMP-9), Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases (TIMP 1, TIMP 2), \& Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGFB) in circulation while taking medication from baseline at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. The 12 month levels were the primary outcome.
