Official Title: Double Blind Randomized Phase IV Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Fluvastatin on Inflammatory Markers in the Haemodynamic Progression of Degenerative Aortic Stenosis

Brief Summary: Atherosclerosis and aortic stenosis share inflammatory etiopathogenic characteristics in common. We hypothesized that statins therapy would decrease inflammatory markers concentrations in patients with degenerative aortic stenosis and halt the haemodynamic progression of the disease.
