Presented today as late-breaking data at #HFSA2022 and posted online @CircAHA, new data from PROVE-HF regarding impact of #sacubitril/valsartan on #mitralregurgitation in #HFrEF.

Thanks to @DukeHFDoc for presenting in my absence.

What did we find? A 🧵...
It is well-known that MR severity is an important determinant of symptoms and prognosis in those with HFrEF.

Thanks to work from @LindenfeldJoann and @GreggWStone in the COAPT trial, it is also known that repair of MR may improve outcome in HFrEF.
Based on the COAPT and MITRA-FR results, current recommendations are to "optimize" #GDMT prior to decisions on repair of MR. Why?

Thanks to the reverse remodeling effects of #GDMT, MR severity may be reduced, avoiding need for MV repair.
