Murmur MD vs COAPT Risk Score

Murmur is the premiere physician networking app designed for physicians to share and discuss techniques and cases with fellow doctors to improve patient outcomes. Physicians can search by topic, follow fellow physicians, and read their content at a glance. Murmur posts include noteworthy links, photos, and videos of cases. Customized alerts allow physicians to notify and engage colleagues about complex procedures. Physicians have the ability to direct message colleagues or reply in a thread. Murmur is built by physicians, for physicians.

For educational purposes and for use by medical professionals only. For patients with severe functional mitral regurgitation and symptomatic heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction between 20-50%) despite best medical therapy. The COAPT Risk Score is a simple risk prediction tool created by combining clinical and echocardiographic variables in patients with heart failure (HF) and moderate-to-severe or severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) who remain symptomatic despite maximally tolerated guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT). The COAPT Risk Score provides valuable prognostic information regarding the 2-year risk of death and/or heart failure hospitalization (HFH). The score is derived from the COAPT trial population of patients with HF and moderate-to-severe or severe FMR randomized to treatment with either transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with MitraClip plus GDMT or GDMT alone. We can incorporate TEER in the risk score and provide updated 2-year risk of death and/or HFH which can serve as a valuable shared decision-making tool for patients and physicians as well as heart teams while deciding about TEER.
