A blood pressure medication has been found to prevent Aortic Aneursym in Mice with Marfan Syndrome. I know Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease is caused by a problem with fibrillin and is what this drug interacts with.

Can anyone comment on the chances of this discovery being related to BAVD also? The results of this discovery look quite amazing.
