Impact of mitral regurgitation in patients with worsening heart failure: Insights from BIOSTAT-CHF

TLDR
The role of mitral regurgitation in the BIOlogy Study to TAilored Treatment in chronic heart failure (BIOSTAT-CHF) was investigated in this paper.
Abstract
Background Few data regarding the prevalence and prognostic impact of mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with worsening chronic or new-onset acute heart failure (HF) are available. We investigated the role of MR in the BIOlogy Study to TAilored Treatment in Chronic Heart Failure (BIOSTAT-CHF). Methods and results We performed a retrospective post-hoc analysis including patients from both the index and validation BIOSTAT-CHF cohorts with data regarding MR status. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death or HF hospitalization. Among 4023 patients included, 1653 patients (41.1%) had moderate-severe MR. Compared to others, patients with moderate-severe MR were more likely to have atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease and had larger left ventricular (LV) dimensions, lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), worse QoL, and higher plasma concentrations of NT-proBNP. A primary outcome event occurred in 697 patients with, compared to 836 patients without, moderate-severe MR (Kaplan-Meier 2-year estimate: 42.2% vs. 35.3%; hazard ratio [HR], 1.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-1.41; log-rank p Conclusions Moderate-severe MR is common in patients with worsening chronic or new-onset acute HF and is strongly associated with outcome, independently of other features related to HF severity.

Heart failure: an update from the last years and a look at the near future

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present evidence for treatment of patients with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (DELIVER) by using intravenous acetazolamide to loop diuretics, which leads to greater decongestion vs. placebo.

Clinical implications of left atrial changes after optimization of medical therapy in patients with heart failure

TL;DR: Changes in LA dimension may be a useful marker of response to treatment and improve risk stratification in patients with HF and was associated with an unfavourable outcome and was prevented by ACEi/ARBs uptitration.

Transcatheter Mitral-Valve Repair in Patients with Heart Failure.

TL;DR: Among patients with heart failure and moderate‐to‐severe or severe secondary mitral regurgitation who remained symptomatic despite the use of maximal doses of guideline‐directed medical therapy, transcatheter mitral‐valve repair resulted in a lower rate of hospitalization forHeart failure and lower all‐cause mortality within 24 months of follow‐up than medical therapy alone.

Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation Long-Term Outcome and Prognostic Implications With Quantitative Doppler Assessment

TL;DR: Patients with previous (>16 days) Q-wave MI by ECG who underwent transthoracic echocardiography found that after 5 years, total mortality and cardiac mortality for patients with IMR were higher than for those without IMR.

Recommendations for the echocardiographic assessment of native valvular regurgitation: an executive summary from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging

TL;DR: It is crucial to provide standards that aim at establishing a baseline list of measurements to be performed when assessing regurgitation, and to integrate the quantification of the regurgitations, assessment of the valve anatomy and function, as well as the consequences of valvular disease on cardiac chambers.
