<<Is there anyway to continue following these patients (long term) and
assess valvular pathology even though it would no longer be blinded?>>

These patients were on Redux as long as they could be, they stopped usage when the recall occurred. It is interesting to note that echo's were performed at an average time frame of 35 days following cessation of Redux, so we aren't going to be looking at questions of allowing their conditions to "regress" before the echo evaluation.

However the IPIC Redux study due out by end of June is focusing on longer term (> 3 months) usage, and this will be blinded in the eyes of the evaluators......of course, the patients know who they are in this study.
