Oncology patients with Heart Failure (HF) and severe Mitral Regurgitation (MR) are often considered to have a prohibitive risk for surgical mitral valve repair/replacement. We describe a patient with active multiple myeloma and significant HF and MR who was treated with MitraClip, which improved symptoms and allowed delivery of optimal oncological treatment.

Patients with heart failure who have secondary severe mitral regurgitation due to left ventricular dysfunction have a poor prognosis, with high rates of rehospitalization and mortality. Percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip (Abbott) has been shown to be safe and effective in secondary severe mitral regurgitation with heart failure. The number of MitraClip procedures performed has increased significantly, as recently published large, randomized clinical studies have shown. However, these studies have drawn different conclusions. This review aims to summarize the current evidence for the MitraClip procedure and provide information for its safe and successful implementation, comparing the studies that examined the use of MitraClip versus medical therapy alone or surgical repair for severe secondary mitral regurgitation.

Mitral valve regurgitation is a common disease affecting a large number of patients with heart failure. It is more prevalent in Europe and North America and predominantly in older ages. It has been estimated that moderate to severe mitral regurgitation will double its prevalence by 2030, affecting more than 4 million people. Mitral regurgitation is the second most common valve disease requiring surgery in Europe.

Background. Morbidity and mortality in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) remains high, however, no pharmacological therapy has been proven to be effective.Aimsto study the effect of sacubitrile/valsartan and valsartan on functional mitral regurgitation in chronic heart failure.Methods.This double-blind study randomly assigned sacubitrile/valsartan or valsartan in addition to standard drug therapy for heart failure among 100 patients with heart failure with chronic FMR (secondary to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction). The primary endpoint was a change in the effective area of the regurgitation hole during the 12-month follow-up. Secondary endpoints included changes in the volume of regurgitation, the final systolic volume of the left ventricle, the final diastolic volume of the left ventricle, and the area of incomplete closure of the mitral valves.Results.The decrease in the effective area of the regurgitation hole was significantly more pronounced in the sacubitrile/valsartan group than in the valsartan group (0.070.066against0.030.058sm2; p=0.018)in the treatment efficacy analysis, which included 100patients (100%). The regurgitation volume also significantly decreased in the sacubitrile/valsartan group compared to the valsartan group (mean difference:8.4ml; 95%CI, from 13.2 until 1.9;р=0.21). There were no significant differences between the groups regarding changes in the area ofincomplete closure of the mitral valves and LV volumes, with the exception of the index of the final LV diastolic volume (p=0.07).Conclusion.Among patients with secondary FMR, sacubitril/valsartan reduced MR more than valsartan. Thus, angiotensin receptor inhibitors and neprilysin can be considered for optimal drug treatment of patients with heart failure and FMR.

This is an analysis involving 134 heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction versus 80 controls investigated during functional evaluation with gas exchange and hemodynamic, addressing the severe mitral regurgitation phenotype and testing the hypothesis that the backward cardiac output redistribution to the lung during exercise impairs delivery and overexpresses peripheral extraction. This information is new and has important implications in the management of heart failure.

In recent years there has been significant interest in treating iron deficiency (ID) in patients with heart failure (HF) due to its high prevalence and detrimental effects in this population. As stated in the 2020 Russain HF guidelines, Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose remains the only proven therapy for ID.This document was prompted by the results from the recent AFFIRM-AHF trial which demonstrates that treatment of ID after acute HF decompensation reduces the risk of future decompensations. Experts have concluded that in HF patients with acute decompensation, a left ventricular ejection fraction of < 50% and ID, Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose reduces future HF hospitalisations. Patients with stable HF may also benefit from treatment of ID to improve quality of life and alleviate symptoms.  It is, therefore, reasonable to screen for and treat ID in patients with HF.
