Deceleration capacity of heart rate predicts 1-year mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Risk stratification for transcatheter procedures in patients with severe mitral regurgitation is challenging. Deceleration capacity (DC) has already proven to be a reliable risk predictor in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation. We hypothesized, that DC provides prognostic value in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER).

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed electrocardiogram signals from 106 patients undergoing TEER at the University Hospital of Tübingen. All patients received continuous heart-rate monitoring to assess DC following the procedure. One-year all-cause mortality was defined as the primary end point.

Results

Sixteen patients (15.1%) died within 1 year. The DC in nonsurvivors was significantly reduced compared to survivors (5.1 ± 3.0 vs. 3.0 ± 1.6 ms, p = 0.002). A higher EuroSCORE II and impaired left ventricular function were furthermore associated with poor outcome. In Cox regression analyses, a DC < 4.5 ms was found a strong predictor of 1-year mortality (hazard ratio: 0.10, 95% confidence interval: 0.13-0.79, p = 0.029). Finally, a significant negative correlation was found between DC and residual mitral regurgitation after TEER (r = -0.41, p < 0.001).

Conclusion

In patients with severe mitral regurgitation undergoing TEER, DC may serve as a new predictor of follow-up mortality.

Project description:ObjectiveAlthough regurgitant mitral valves can be repaired through surgical or transcatheter approaches, contemporary comparative outcomes are limited with the impact of residual and recurrent mitral regurgitation (MR) on clinical outcomes being poorly defined. We hypothesized that moderate (2+) or greater residual or recurrent (RR) MR-regardless of type of repair-predicts worse clinical outcomes.MethodsOur institutional experience of 660 consecutive patients undergoing mitral valve repair (2015-2021) consisting of 393 surgical mitral valve repair (SMVr) and 267 transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) was studied. The echocardiographic impact of RRMR (2+) following both SMVr and TEER on death and reintervention was evaluated.ResultsPatients averaged 67.8 ± 14.2 years (SMVr = 63.8 ± 13.3 vs 73.6 ± 13.6, P < .0001) and 62.1% were male. Baseline clinical and demographic data were vastly different between the 2 groups. Residual or recurrent 2+ or greater MR developed in 25% (n = 68) of patients who received TEER compared with 6% (n = 25) of SMVr (P < .0001). Reintervention (9.3% vs 2.4%, P = .002) and death (37.9% vs 10.4%, P < .0001) rates at 3-years were greater among the TEER group versus SMVr group. Given the heterogeneity in baseline characteristics and difference in survival, each cohort was analyzed separately, stratified by RRMR, using multivariable modeling to identify predictors of repeat reintervention and death. There were too few events of RRMR in the SMVr cohort for evaluation. For the TEER subgroups, we observed greater long-term mortality, but not reintervention among those with RRMR., Hypertension was the strongest predictor of death and obesity was for reintervention.ConclusionsPatients undergoing SMVr and TEER are vastly different with respect to baseline patient characteristics and clinical outcomes, with patients who undergo TEER being much greater risk with poorer prognosis. Moderate or greater RRMR predicted worse long-term survival but not reintervention among patients who received TEER. Given the difference in survival among patients with RRMR following TEER, care must be taken to ensure that patients entering clinical trials and receiving TEER should have a high probability of achieving mild or less MR as seen in contemporary surgical results.

Project description:BackgroundSevere mitral regurgitation (MR) with left ventricular dysfunction portends worse outcomes. Over the course of the last two decades, transcatheter repair of the mitral valve offered an alternative therapeutic modality for those deemed inoperable or high risk. Landmark studies such as the Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients With Functional Mitral Regurgitation and Multicentre Study of Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair MitraClip Device in Patients With Severe Secondary Mitral Regurgitation trials have shown conflicting results with respect to all-cause death and heart failure rehospitalisations. The Gulf Mitral Transcatheter Edge to Edge Repair registry (Gulf MTEER registry) is a regional registry that captured outcomes in those undergoing transcatheter repair of the mitral valve. The objectives of this study were to describe the baseline characteristics of patients undergoing transcatheter mitral valve repair in the Gulf region and estimate the cardiovascular effects of the mitral transcatheter therapies in routine practice.MethodsThe Gulf MTEER registry is an observational, multicentre, retrospective registry that enrolled all patients undergoing transcatheter repair of the mitral valve from four of the Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman) between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2019. Baseline characteristics, echocardiographic parameters and immediate procedural success were reported. The primary outcome was a composite of death and rehospitalisations at 1 year. The secondary outcomes were the individual components of the composite endpoint; that is, death and rehospitalisations at 1 year as well as residual or recurrent MR or worsening New York Heart Association class and a need for repeat repair.ResultsA total of 176 patients were enrolled. Men constituted 56.3% of the total. At 1 year the primary outcome occurred in 21.1% (95% CI 15.6, 27.9). The secondary outcomes of death occurred in 5.4% (CI 2.9, 10.0) and rehospitalisations occurred in 16.9% (CI 11.9, 23.3). Univariate analysis revealed that the odds of having death or re-hospitalisation was two times higher if the effective regurgitant orifice (ERO) >40 mm2 irrespective of the therapy.ConclusionsThe Gulf MTEER registry is the first registry in the Gulf region defining the patient population receiving MTEER therapies and evaluating 1-year outcomes. This is a low risk cohort with a high rate of immediate procedural success and low rate of all-cause death and rehospitalisations at 1 year. The odds of an event was two times higher if the ERO ≥40 mm2 with only a signal to higher odds for low left ventricular ejection fraction and larger end systolic dimension.
