Evaluating the effect of renin-angiotension-aldosterone system inhibitors and beta blockers on the progression of bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy in adulthood: A retrospective cohort study
Our findings suggest that the chronic use of RAASi or BB was not associated with a blunted progression of BAV aortopathy in the adult population. These results highlight the need for larger, randomised studies to validate these observations and further explore potential preventative strategies in this population.
