Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective: Variations in elastic properties of the aortic wall.
Incidence of clinical aspects: aortic disection, aortic rupture, aortic operation or death.
Validation of the dose and efficacy of losartan.
Modificacion of dural ectasia
Main Objective: evaluate the role of losartan vs atenolol in the prevention of aortic dilatation in patients with marfan syndrome
Primary end point(s): Main variable assessed is the progression of aortic dilatation and one of the secondary variables is elasticity changes in the aorta wall in patients treated by losartan vs atenolol during 3 years of follow-up. Aorta dilatation was choosen as the main variable since it is related to dissection and aortic rupture.
