Important slide in 2nd MR, not only for criteria but for # pts in each. Tier 1 is most specific for 3-4+ MR & has 85% of pts in COAPT. Tier 3 is less specific and may include milder MR (if last 2 bullets were fulfilled)- gladly only 3.8%. Thus COAPT pts had true 3-4+ MR.
@ASE360
Important slide from COAPT. 3+/4+ MR was selected by ASE -recommended multi-parametric integrated approach. But they don’t tell you how to do it. This is the algorithm we developed for COAPT. Use this selection method to duplicate the COAPT results.
