The Impact

Abstract Background Limited information has been reported regarding the impact of percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) on ventricular arrhythmic (VA) burden. The aim of this study was to address the incidence of VA and appropriate antitachycardia implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) therapies before and after PMVR. Methods We retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients with heart failure with reduce left ventricular ejection fraction, functional mitral regurgitation grade 3+ or 4+ and an active ICD or cardiac resynchronizer who underwent PMVR in any of the eleven recruiting centers. Only patients with complete available device VA monitoring from one-year before to one year after PMVR were included. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic characteristics were collected before PMVR and at 12-months follow-up. Results 93 patients (68.2±10.9 years old, male 88.2%) were enrolled. PMVR was successfully performed in all patients and device success at discharge was 91.4%. At 12-months follow-up, we observed a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation severity, NT-proBNP and prevalence of severe pulmonary hypertension and severe kidney disease. Patients also referred a significant improvement in NYHA functional class and showed a non-significant trend to reserve left ventricular remodeling. After PMVR a significant decrease in the incidence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) (5.0–17.8 vs 2.7–13.5, p=0.002), sustained VT or ventricular fibrillation (0.9–2.5 vs 0.5–2.9, p=0.012) and ICD antitachycardia therapies (2.5–12.0 vs 0.9–5.0, p=0.033) were observed. Conclusion PMVR was related to a reduction in arrhythmic burden and ICD therapies in our cohort. Proportion of patients who presented ven Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background Recent randomised trials have shown conflicting results regarding the usefulness of percutaneous mitral valve repair using MitraClip in patients with severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). At present, it remains unclear whether patients with FMR and advanced heart failure might benefit from MitraClip therapy. Moreover, it has been shown that left ventricular reverse remodelling (LVRR) post-MitraClip is associated with a favourable outcome. Purpose We sought to assess whether baseline contractile reserve (CR) can predict LVRR and improvement of LV ejection fraction (EF) in FMR patients undergoing MitraClip therapy. Methods Consecutive patients with symptomatic severe FMR referred for MitraClip were recruited in two tertiary centres. All patients were scheduled for a semi-supine bicycle exercise echocardiography before and 6 months after the intervention. Patients who were not able to perform an exercise test and who did not complete 6 month follow up were excluded from further analysis. Baseline CR was obtained by subtracting peak exercise LVEF from LVEF at rest. LVRR was defined as a 10% decrease in LV end systolic volume (ESV) at follow-up. Results 34 patients completed 6 month follow up (61% male, age 71 ± 10 years, LVEF 32 ± 8%). LVRR was observed in 15 patients (44%). We found a trend towards a moderate correlation between baseline CR and relative decrease in LVESV at 6 months (Pearson Rho -0.321, p = 0.064). This correlation became significant in a sub-analysis considering only patients with post-procedural FMR grade ≤2 (n = 27; Pearson Rho -0.444, p = 0.020). In contrast, LVRR was not related to baseline LVEF, LV dimensions or volumes. Furthermore, baseline CR was strongly correlated with an increase of LVEF at 6 months post-MitraClip in these patients (Pearson Rho 0.653, p < 0.001). Conclusion CR predicts LVRR and improvement of LVEF in patients with FMR after successful MitraClip therapy (reduction of FMR towards grade ≤2), in contrast to resting indices of LV dysfunction and dilatation. More studies with outcome data are needed to determine whether CR is a useful parameter to identify patients with FMR who might benefit from MitraClip therapy.

Abstract Background Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is not uncommon in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Left atrial (LA) substrate remodeling and corresponding mitral valve annulus dilation has been reported as the most possible cause of FMR. Percutaneous catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for AF. Although significant FMR could be improved by sinus restoration, patients with mitral regurgitation were more likely to experience recurrent AF post ablation, especially those with significant mitral regurgitation. There is no information available on the efficacy of CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR. Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictors of FMR improvement by CA and to determine the efficacy of substrate and trigger CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR. Methods We prospectively studied 512 consecutive patients admitted for persistent AF ablation from the EARNEST-PVI (Prospective Multicenter Randomized Study of Effect of Extensive Ablation on Recurrence in Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Pulmonary Vein Isolation) trial. On admission, enrolled patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) or PVI-plus additional ablation (linear ablation or/and CFAE ablation). Of the 512 patients, we studied 94 patients with preoperative echocardiography showing moderate or greater baseline FMR. FMR grades were classified into 5 grades (0/1/2/3/4). The FMR improvement group (FMRI(+)) was defined as a case in which the FMR was improved by two or more grades compared the preoperative echocardiography and the one year follow-up examination. Results Of the 94 patients, 42 were in the PVI group and 52 were in the PVI-plus additional ablation group. There were 30 cases in the FMRI(+) group and 64 cases in the FMRI(−) group. There were no significant baseline differences in age, sinus rhythm maintenance, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, left ventricular diastolic dimension, or left atrium dimension between the FMRI(+) and FMRI(−) groups. AF duration was significantly shorter in the FMRI(+) group than FMRI(−) groups (5.8±9.4 months vs 12.4±15.4 months, p<0.0001). In addition, significantly more additional ablation cases were observed in the FMRI(+) group than in the FMRI(−) group (73.3% vs 46.8%, p=0.016). In multivariate analyses, only additional ablation was an independent predictor of FMRI (odds ratio 0.226 95% CI 0.081–0.626; p=0.004). Conclusions Catheter ablation is a valid option for the treatment of AF in patients with functional MR and additional substrate and trigger ablation were the only independent predictor of FMR improvement.

Abstract Aims Recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) has been reported after mitral valve repair for functional MR. However, the impact of recurrent MR on long-term survival remains poorly defined. In the present study, mortality-adjusted recurrent MR rates, the clinical impact of recurrent MR and its determinants were studied in patients after mitral valve repair with revascularization for functional MR in the setting of ischaemic heart disease. Methods and results Long-term clinical and echocardiographic outcome was evaluated in 261 consecutive patients after restrictive mitral annuloplasty and revascularization for moderate to severe functional MR, between 2000 and 2014. The cumulative incidence of recurrent MR ≥ Grade 2, assessed by competing risk analysis, was 9.6 ± 1.8% at 1-year, 20.3 ± 2.5% at 5-year, and 27.6 ± 2.9% at 10-year follow-up. Cumulative survival was 85.8% [95% confidence interval (CI) 81.0–90.0] at 1-year, 67.3% (95% CI 61.1–72.6%) at 5-year, and 46.1% (95% CI 39.4–52.6%) at 10-year follow-up. Age, preoperative New York Heart Association Class III or IV, a history of renal failure, and recurrence of MR expressed as a time-dependent variable [HR 3.28 (1.87–5.75), P < 0.001], were independently associated with an increased mortality risk. Female gender, a history of ST-elevation myocardial infarction, a preoperative QRS duration ≥120 ms, a higher preoperative MR grade, and a higher indexed left ventricular end-systolic volume were independently associated with an increased likelihood of recurrent MR. Conclusion Mitral valve repair for functional ischaemic MR resulted in a low incidence of recurrent MR with favourable clinical outcome up to 10 years after surgery. Presence of recurrent MR at any moment after surgery proved to be independently associated with an increased risk for mortality.
