Echocardiographic Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients with Secondary Mitral Regurgitation: COAPT Trial
This study presents the echocardiographic outcomes from the COAPT trial focusing on heart failure patients with secondary mitral regurgitation. The trial evaluated the impact of MitraClip therapy in conjunction with guideline-directed medical therapy compared to medical therapy alone. Results showed significant reductions in death or heart failure hospitalization with the combined treatment approach. The study also highlights the challenges in assessing the severity of secondary mitral regurgitation due to anatomical complexities. Furthermore, the objectives include describing echocardiographic grading criteria, population characteristics, and predictors of clinical outcomes.

Heart Failure and Secondary Mitral Regurgitation: Echocardiographic Outcomes from the COAPT trial Federico M. Asch, MD Director, Echocardiographic Core Lab MedStar Health Research Institute On behalf of Gregg W. Stone, Michael Mack, Neil J Weissman and the COAPT Investigators COAPT (NCT01626079)
Disclosure Statement Federico M Asch, MD No personal COI Institutional conflict MedStar Health has Institutional contracts for my work as Director of an Academic Core Lab: Abbott, Boston Scientific, Edwards, Medtronic, Neovasc, Livanova, GDS, Mitralign. COAPT (NCT01626079) is funded by Abbott
Background (i) Secondary or functional mitral regurgitation (SMR) is present in >50% of patients with heart failure (HF), and is severe in ~10-15%. Prognosis is poor when SMR is severe. COAPT: Randomized, open-label, multicenter trial in patients with HF and moderate-to-severe (3+) or severe (4+) SMR who remained symptomatic despite maximally- tolerated GDMT.
Death or HF Hospitalization 100% MitraClip + GDMT GDMT alone HR [95% CI] = 0.57 [0.45-0.71] P<0.001 HF Hospitalization (%) All-cause Mortality or 80% 67.9% 60% 45.7% 40% NNT (24 mo) = 4.5 [95% CI 3.3, 7.2] 20% 0% 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 Time After Randomization (Months) No. at Risk: MitraClip + GDMT GDMT alone 302 312 264 244 238 205 215 174 194 153 154 117 145 90 126 75 97 55 Stone GW et al.

Background (ii) SMR is a consequence of leaflet tethering and incomplete leaflet coaptation. Evaluation of SMR is challenging, due to asymmetric leaflet anatomy and regurgitant orifice, eccentric jets and enlarged left cardiac chambers. Expert panels have disagreed on how to define the severity of SMR, resulting in conflicting European and American guidelines.
Objectives COAPT Echo Sub-study 1. To describe the echocardiographic MR grading criteria utilized in COAPT for screening and post-MitraClip 2. To describe the echocardiographic characteristics of the COAPT population 3. To evaluate the serial echocardiographic outcomes 4. To identify baseline echocardiographic predictors of clinical outcomes (responders and non-responders to MitraClip)
Methods 614 patients with HF and moderate to severe (3+) or severe (4+) secondary MR Randomized 1:1 to maximally-tolerated GDMT + MitraClip or GDMT alone. Transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) at baseline, 1, 6, 12, 18, 24 months (to continue to year 5) All echo analysis by an independent echo core lab, adapted from American guidelines (ASE, ACC)
Key Echo Inclusion Criteria 1. LVEF 20% - 50% and LVESD 70 mm (ischemic or non- ischemic) 2. SMR amenable for MitraClip treatment 3. Moderate-to-severe (3+) or severe (4+) SMR confirmed by an independent echo core laboratory prior to enrollment

Limitations Echo analysis was blinded to clinical condition, but not to intervention. PISA and hemodynamics after MitraClip have major limitations. Color Doppler, PV flow and vena contracta are the most available and reliable methods. Subgroup predictive analysis was only done based on pre- specified plans. To overcome survivorship bias, worst case scenario and multiple imputation methods were used to account for missing follow-up data (pre-specified).
Conclusions (i) COAPT Echo Sub-study To duplicate the COAPT results, specific COAPT screening echo criteria and expert echo analysis should be applied to identify proper candidates for MitraClip. In patients with HF and 3+ or 4+ secondary MR, TMVr with MitraClip provided substantial death and HFH benefits in all echocardiographic subgroups, regardless of degree of LV dysfunction, LV dimensions, pulmonary hypertension, severity of TR or individual MR parameters (all responders).
Conclusions (ii) COAPT Echo Sub-study Baseline LVEF, TR and MR severity predicted poor outcomes in patients with HF treated with GDMT alone, but not after MR was corrected by MitraClip. RVSP was the only independent echocardiographic predictor of poor outcomes after MitraClip and GDMT treatments.
