TEER In dynaMic sEvere Functional Mitral Regurgitation (TIMER)

Functional mitral regurgitation is a highly dynamic disease. Some patients exhibit only moderate(2+) functional mitral regurgitation at rest, which deteriorates to moderate-to-severe or severe FMR(3+ or 4+) during stress-termed dynamic severe functional mitral regurgitation. Observational studies link this condition to worse outcomes, with mitral valve intervention offering potential benefits; however, high-quality evidence remains lacking. The Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair In DynaMic sEvere Functional Mitral Regurgitation trial aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair plus guideline-directed medical therapy versus guideline-directed medical therapy alone in symptomatic chronic heart failure patients with dynamic severe functional mitral regurgitation, defined as moderate regurgitation at rest deteriorating to severe during handgrip stress echocardiography. This prospective, multi-center, randomized trial enrolls patients with dynamic severe functional mitral regurgitation confirmed by a core laboratory using handgrip stress echocardiography. Patients are randomized 1:1 to transcatheter edge-to-edge repair plus medical therapy or medical therapy alone. The primary endpoint is the composite of Cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization over the entire period. This trial will provide critical evidence on transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in patients with dynamic severe functional mitral regurgitation, informing future treatment recommendations.

Mitral Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair in Patients With Exercise-Induced Severe Mitral Regurgitation

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in addition to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) can improve clinical outcomes and symptoms in heart failure patients with non-severe secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) at rest and exercise-induced severe SMR. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does mitral valve TEER in addition to GDMT lead to better overall clinical outcomes than GDMT alone in patients with heart failure and exercise-induced severe SMR? * Does mitral valve TEER reduce the risk of death, heart failure hospitalization, or worsening SMR during 12 months of follow-up compared with GDMT alone? * Does mitral valve TEER improve patients' quality of life compared with GDMT alone? Participants will: * Undergo screening assessments to confirm eligibility for the study. * Be randomly assigned to receive either GDMT alone or GDMT plus mitral valve TEER. * Attend follow-up visits at approximately 3 time points during a 12-month follow-up period. * Undergo clinical evaluations that are routinely performed in patients with heart failure and SMR, including assessment of symptoms, functional status, and cardiac function. The patients' echocardiographic data will undergo an additional centralized assessment by an independent Core Laboratory.

Achieving Optimal Medical Therapy Through Percutaneous Treatment of Secondary Mitral Regurgitation to Improve Outcome in Patients With HFrEF

The purpose of the ACHILLES-HF trial (ACHIeving optimaL medicaL therapy through pErcutaneous treatment of Secondary mitral regurgitation to improve outcome in Patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction) is to test whether early transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and relevant secondary mitral regurgitation, that are at risk of not receiving full guideline recommended therapy (GDMT), results in faster and more complete GDMT up-titration and whether this translates into improved quality of life and clinical outcomes.

Optimizing Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Repair (M-TEER) for Severe Functional Mitral Regurgitation Towards Improved Guideline-directed Medical Therapy

A multi-centre, prospective, observational pilot registry in patients undergoing mitral valve repair for severe functional mitral regurgitation to report the heart failure drug therapy and dosing before the mitral valve procedure and afterwards to assess whether the recommended maximal dose of medication is administered. This maximal dose, although recommended, might not be tolerated well by patients and can cause side-effects. Researchers will determine whether the mitral valve repair procedure might have a possible effect on increasing the drug therapy towards the recommended optimal doses.
