Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overarching goal of this research proposal is to study the feasibility and clinical impact of implementing an Inova system-wide heart failure treatment algorithm for patients with symptomatic heart failure due to reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFreF) and secondary MR

Aim is to check the effectiveness of the IHFTA in identifying patients who are most likely to benefit from percutaneous transcatheter Mitraclip repair in real world

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All patients passing through the IHFTA will be tracked and followed w.r.t. their final therapies. Monthly meetings will occur with the IHFTA research team to assess and discuss any challenges in implementing the protocol. Impediments will be identified, and strategies put forth to address them. To examine whether the Inova IHFTA identifies the patient most likely to benefit from Mitraclip, the baseline clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of patients treated with Mitraclip within the IHFTA (who would have met the criteria for COAPT study) will be compared to those of the treated cohort in the COAPT trial using t-tests and Chi-squared tests

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Moderate MR

Patients who present with moderate MR and remain in this state will be re-evaluated at 6 months by a phone call and EMR review for ConComitant Cardiac Medication Review, NYHA Class and Adverse Event Evaluation. At 12 months a follow-up evaluation that will include a review of medications, NYHA class, KCCQ, 6MWT, BNP, Adverse Event review and TTE.

Moderate MR

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients who present with moderate MR (Mitral regurgitation) will serve also as an internal control against which the outcomes of Mitraclip treated patients)

Mitraclip

For patient who undergo Mitraclip, the safety and effectiveness of the procedure will be evaluated and all peri-procedural complications recorded using the same definitions for procedural success and complications used in the COAPT trial

MitraClip

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will undergo the Mitraclip procedure according to current standards of practice

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* LVEF ≤50%.
* LVESD ≤70 mm
* The primary regurgitant jet , in the opinion of the MitraClip implanting investigator, can be successfully treated by the MitraClip (if a secondary jet exists, it must be considered clinically insignificant).
* Transseptal catheterization and femoral vein access is feasible per the MitraClip implanting investigator.
* Age 18 y or older

* Implant of CRT or CRT-D within the last 30 d
* Mitral valve orifice area \<4.0 cm2 by site-assessed TTE

* Life expectancy \<12 m due to noncardiac conditions
* Investigators opinion a condition that could limit the subject's participation
* Status 1 heart transplant or prior orthotopic heart transplantation

* Pregnant or planning pregnancy within next 12m
* Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study that has not reached its primary end point
* Subject belongs to a vulnerable population or has any disorder that compromises his/her ability to give written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures.
