Kesäniemi Christoph Nienaber Simon Ray Terje Skjærpe Kristian Wachtell Ronnie Willenheimer Nonvoting members: Philippe Brudi (MSP) William Malbecq (MSD statistician) Rossebø et al. NEJM 2008;359 (Epub ahead of print).

4 SEAS Study Design Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Multicentre 4 weeks placebo/diet run-in Simvastatin 40 mg + ezetimibe 10 mg or placebo Median duration: 4.5 years (minimum follow-up 4 years) Rossebø et al. NEJM 2008;359 (Epub ahead of print).

5 SEAS: Primary End Point Major Cardiovascular (CV) Events: CV death Aortic valve replacement surgery (AVR) CHF as a result of progression of AS Non-fatal myocardial infarction CABG PCI Hospitalized unstable angina Non-hemorrhagic stroke PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention CHF= congestive heart failure CABG = coronary-artery bypass grafting Rossebø et al. NEJM 2008;359 (Epub ahead of print).

6 SEAS: Secondary End Points Aortic Valve Events Aortic valve replacement CHF as a result of progression of AS CV death Ischemic CV Events CV death Nonfatal MI CABG PCI Hospitalized unstable angina Nonhemorrhagic stroke Rossebø et al. NEJM 2008;359 (Epub ahead of print).

7 Other Objectives Echocardiography Safety Rossebø et al. NEJM 2008;359 (Epub ahead of print).

8 Patient Definition Men and women Age 45 - 85 years Asymptomatic Valvular AS: ▬ Aortic valve thickening on echocardiographic evaluation ▬ Doppler jet velocity ≥2.5 - ≤4.0 m/sec Normal LV systolic function Rossebø et al. NEJM 2008;359 (Epub ahead of print).

9 Exclusion Criteria Statin therapy or indication for statins Coronary heart disease Other important valvular disease: ▬ Significant mitral valve stenosis or regurgitation ▬ Severe or predominant aortic regurgitation ▬ Rheumatic valvular disease or AV prosthesis or subvalvular (hypertrophic, obstructive cardiomyopathy) or supravalvular AS Diabetes mellitus Other conditions precluding participation Rossebø et al. NEJM 2008;359 (Epub ahead of print).
