Interesting. They used rosuvastatin but implied that any statin given for hyperlipidemia is expected to have a similar effect. That is good to know, and I wonder if it has been factored into the lifespan projections for the pericardial valves. I would guess that a higher percentage of patients now take statins than was the case 12-15 years ago, when some of the previous studies on valve lives were done.
