The RVol/LAV ratio might serve as a valuable metric for improving risk stratification in patients with VFMR.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with ventricular functional mitral regurgitation (VFMR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER)patients who underwent M-TEER
- Participants
- 1,830 patients
- Exposure
- Low regurgitant volume (RVol)/left atrial volume (LAV) vs high RVol/LAV
- Low RVol/LAVn = Eight hundred eighty-eight
- High RVol/LAVn = 942
- Outcome
- Heart failure hospitalization
- Follow-up
- 3 years after repair
