Introduction: Accurate predictors of good clinical response after MitraClip implant in patients with heart failure (HF) are still lacking. Aim of this study was to investigate the role of regurgitant fraction >50% as a marker of disproportionate functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in identifying best responders to Mitraclip.
Methods And Results: Data from 58 advanced HF patients (age 66 ± 8 years, 81% males, 63% NYHA class IV, LV ejection fraction (EF) 25.
