Article Synopsis
- The COAPT Risk Score predicts the likelihood of death or hospitalization for heart failure within two years after undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for mitral regurgitation using the MitraClip device.
- An international study analyzed 344 patients categorized as COAPT eligible or non-eligible based on COAPT trial criteria, finding higher risk scores associated with increased mortality and hospitalization.
- Overall, the COAPT Score had poor predictive accuracy for both groups, showing better performance in lower-risk patients compared to higher-risk patients, suggesting the Score's effectiveness varies according to patient baseline risk.
