Clinical Trial Summary

The specific aims of this study are to:

- Establish baseline levels of circulating MMP-2 and -9 , TIMP-1and- 2 and TGFB levels in individuals with bicuspid aortic valve and ascending aortic or aortic sinus measurements >40mm.

- Assess the effect on MMP levels during treatment with losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocking agent.

- In the setting of losartan therapy for one year, evaluate the response of MMP levels in these patients, and clinical outcomes including effects on aortic growth rate
