Achieving Optimal Medical Therapy Through Percutaneous Treatment of Secondary Mitral Regurgitation to Improve Outcome in Patients With HFrEF

The purpose of the ACHILLES-HF trial (ACHIeving optimaL medicaL therapy through pErcutaneous treatment of Secondary mitral regurgitation to improve outcome in Patients with Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction) is to test whether early transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and relevant secondary mitral regurgitation, that are at risk of not receiving full guideline recommended therapy (GDMT), results in faster and more complete GDMT up-titration and whether this translates into improved quality of life and clinical outcomes.
