Highlights the role of body mass index for risk stratification in mitral regurgitation, suggesting that underweight status impacts transcatheter repair outcomes.
Mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is a valid treatment option for severe mitral regurgitation (MR), necessitating accurate risk stratification of M-TEER candidates for effective patient selection, optimal periprocedural care and improved long-term outcomes. The body mass index (BMI) is a simple and practical prognostic index, and the obesity paradox has been widely reported.
