Aims Recent progress in the diagnosis of functional valve regurgitation forms a coherent perception of severity thresholds by quantitative assessment. However, thresholds focused on either valve in isolation -not accounting for the global hemodynamic burden arising from concomitant functional regurgitation of the mitral and tricuspid valves. We sought to determine whether the global regurgitant volume is associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and mortality. Methods and results This long-term observational study included 414 patients on guideline-directed medical therapy. Baseline global regurgitant load defined as the sum of mitral and tricuspid regurgitant volume was assessed by the proximal flow convergence method. All-cause mortality during five years follow-up served as the primary endpoint. The median global regurgitant load was 30ml (IQR 15-49) with 67% accounting for mitral and 33% accounting for tricuspid regurgitant volume. The global regurgitant load had significant impact on outcome with a crude HR of 1.46 (1.28-1.66; P &amp;lt; 0.001) for a 1-SD increase in global regurgitant volume, results that remained virtually unchanged after bootstrap or clinical confounder-based adjustment (P &amp;lt; 0.001 for adjusted models). Spline curve analysis showed a linearly increasing risk with a threshold of 50ml and sustained increasing risk thereafter. Conclusions The present study demonstrates the detrimental effect of the global regurgitant load in patients with HFrEF. The threshold where heart failure is driven by the valve lesions is a global regurgitant volume of 50ml with continuously increasing risk beyond that threshold. Future studies need to address whether an attempt to reduce the global regurgitant volume can improve outcome. Abstract P1580 Figure 1 - Global RegVol
