With the collaboration of the iHF initiative (improving Heart Function) and PCR Mitral Focus Group
Anchorperson:

Spokesperson:
F. Verbrugge
Summary
Delve into the comprehensive management of secondary mitral regurgitation, from guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) to transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). This session elucidates the pathophysiology of atrial and ventricular secondary mitral regurgitation, explores optimized heart failure treatments, and reviews the latest evidence on TEER as a therapeutic option, enhancing clinical decision-making for optimal timing and intervention.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the mechanisms of atrial and ventricular secondary mitral regurgitation and their implications for treatment
- To understand the impact and optimal implementation of heart failure therapies in secondary mitral regurgitation
- To hear the latest evidence concerning the use of TEER as a treatment option for patients with secondary mitral regurgitation
