Abstract

Aims The conceptual framework of proportionate vs. disproportionate mitral regurgitation (MR) translates poorly to individual patients with heart failure (HF) and secondary MR. A novel index, the ratio of MR severity to left atrial volume (LAV), may identify patients with ‘disproportionate’ MR and a higher risk of events. The objectives, therefore, were to investigate the prognostic impact of MR severity to LAV ratio on outcomes among HF patients with severe secondary MR randomized to transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with the MitraClip™ device plus guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) vs. GDMT alone in the COAPT trial Methods The ratio of pre-procedural regurgitant volume (RVol) to LAV was calculated from baseline transthoracic echocardiograms. and results The primary endpoint was 2-year covariate-adjusted rate of HF hospitalization (HFH). Among 567 patients, the median RVol/LAV was 0.67 (interquartile range 0.48–0.91). In patients randomized to GDMT alone, lower RVol/LAV was independently associated with an increased 2-year risk of HFH (adjHR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.20–2.63). RVol/LAV was a stronger predictor of adverse outcomes than RVol or LAV alone. Treatment with TEER plus GDMT compared with GDMT alone was associated with lower 2-year rates of HFH both in patients with low and high RVol/LAV (Pinteraction = 0.28). Baseline RVol/LAV ratio was unrelated to 2-year mortality, health status, or functional capacity in either treatment group Conclusion Low RVol/LAV ratio was an independent predictor of 2-year HFH in HF patients with severe MR treated with GDMT alone in the COAPT trial. TEER improved outcomes regardless of baseline RVol/LAV ratio.
