Insulin Resistance and LVH Progression in Patients With Calcific Aortic Stenosis A Substudy of the ASTRONOMER Trial
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this substudy of the ASTRONOMER (Aortic Stenosis Progression Observation: Measuring Effects of Rosuvastatin) trial was to examine the association between insulin resistance and progression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS).
