"Get with the Guidelines Heart Failure Risk Score" for mortality prediction in patients undergoing MitraClip.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reliable risk scores in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TMVR) are lacking. Heart failure is common in these patients, and risk scores derived from heart failure populations might help stratify TMVR patients.

Methods

Consecutive patients from three Heart Centers undergoing TMVR were enrolled to investigate the association of the "Get with the Guidelines Heart Failure Risk Score" (comprising the variables systolic blood pressure, urea nitrogen, blood sodium, age, heart rate, race, history of chronic obstructive lung disease) with all-cause mortality.

Results

Among 815 patients with available data 177 patients died during a median follow-up time of 365 days. Estimated 1-year mortality by quartiles of the score (0-37; 38-42,
