  Aortic stenosis (AS) is affecting 2 to 3 percent of elderly patients in the developed countries, and its incidence is likely to rise With aging of the population.Currently, there is no well-supported pharmacological approach for the medical management of AS.Of four randomized clinical trials one found slower progression of AS associated with statin treatment but others did not show any effect of statins on the course of AS.Thus, there is a clear clinical need for new pharmacological agents to treat AS prior to the onset of symptoms, at which point valve replacement or implantation is typically performed.
