Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS)/Aortic Aneurysm is a common feature of aortic wall events, including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, aortic ulceration and aortic trauma, and occurs in up to 35 cases per 100,000 cases per year between the ages of 65 and 75 years. Increased levels of the inflammatory biomarker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein predict cardiovascular events. Since statins lower levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein as well as cholesterol, the authors hypothesized that people with acute aortic syndrome but without hyperlipidemia might benefit from statin treatment.
