Effect of Mitral Valve Gradient After MitraClip on Outcomes in Secondary Mitral Regurgitation

The authors sought to evaluate the association between mean mitral valve gradient (MVG) and clinical outcomes among patients who underwent MitraClip treatment for secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) in the COAPT (Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation) trial.In the COAPT trial, patients with heart failure (HF) and severe SMR who remained...
