Abstract
Background
The impact of the COAPT results on clinical practice has not yet been investigated in large real-world cohort study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the potential impact of the COAPT trial by analyzing the temporal trends of baseline characteristics and outcome of secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) patients undergoing MitraClip (MC) included in the GIOTTO registry.
Methods
The study population was divided into 2 groups, considering the enrolment before or after the COAPT publication. Temporal trend analyses were performed to evaluate the changes in baseline patients’ characteristics and clinical outcome over time, and whether the COAPT publication influenced these changes. The outcome measure was the composite of hospitalization for heart failure (HF) and all-cause death at 1 year.
Results
The analysis included 1184 consecutive SMR patients treated with MC at 19 Italian centres between January 2016 and March 2020, 809 (68.3%) in the pre-COAPT group and 375 (31.7%) in the post-COAPT group. Temporal trend analyses showed a decreasing trend for New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (P = .003), hemoglobin (P = .014), and a significant upward trend for left ventricular ejection fraction (P < .001) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD, P = .046). The publication of the COAPT trial impacted only on NYHA trend. Nonsignificant differences in the composite outcome were observed between groups (P = .086).
Conclusions
The selection process of SMR patients undergoing MC changed over time, with a significant impact of the COAPT publication mainly on the trend of NYHA class. At 1-year, patients in the post-COAPT group showed a nonsignificant reduction in the incidence of hospitalization for HF and all-cause death.
期刊介绍:
The American Heart Journal will consider for publication suitable articles on topics pertaining to the broad discipline of cardiovascular disease. Our goal is to provide the reader primary investigation, scholarly review, and opinion concerning the practice of cardiovascular medicine. We especially encourage submission of 3 types of reports that are not frequently seen in cardiovascular journals: negative clinical studies, reports on study designs, and studies involving the organization of medical care. The Journal does not accept individual case reports or original articles involving bench laboratory or animal research.
