There is uncertainty in terms of the superiority of conventional valve surgery or percutaneous transcatheter intervention for the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in high risk patients. The post procedural haemodynamics of the different treatment options in those at high surgical risk is poorly understood. This study seeks to characterise the physiological changes and functional outcomes of patients undergoing either surgery or transcatheter intervention.
Conventional surgery for mitral regurgitation (MR) in high risk patients is associated with reduced benefit and increased risk of perioperative complications.Percutaneous transcatheter intervention (edge to edge repair) is an alternative treatment option is associated with clinical benefit and reduced peri-procedural risk. The post procedural haemodynamics of the different treatment options in those at high surgical risk is poorly understood.
This is a a prospective observational study, involving patients with severe MR undergoing mitral valve surgery (MVRR) and transcatheter intervention (TMVI) as standard of care being recruited into two separate cohorts. Patients will undergo investigations at baseline, in hospital post-operative, and at 6 months to characterise cardiac structure and function.

| Change in left ventricular efficiency as measured by ventricular arterial coupling | VA coupling is calculated by the ratio of effective arterial elastance (Ea), a measure of afterload, to LV end systolic elastance (Ees), a relatively load independent measure of LV chamber performance. Both these measures are expressed in mmHg/ml and as continuous variables. Normal determined Ea and Ees values in resting subjects are 2.2 ± 0.8 mmHg/ml and 2.3 ± 1.0 mmHg/ml, respectively. When Ea/Ees ratio is approximately equal to 1.0, LV and arterial system are optimally coupled to produce stroke work, a measure of the efficiency of LV work, corresponding to the product of systolic arterial pressure and stroke volume, and related to oxygen consumption. When Ea/Ees ratio is <1.0, the stroke work remains close to optimal values, but when EA/EES ratio is >1.0, the stroke work significantly falls, and the LV becomes progressively less efficient. We will compare VA coupling before and after intervention and will be analyzed as continuous variables with appropriate statistical tests. | From baseline to immediately following intervention and 6 months follow up |

| Change in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class | The New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification provides a simple way of classifying the extent of heart failure. It classifies patients in one of four categories based on their limitations during physical activity: Class I - No symptoms and no limitation in ordinary physical activity Class II - Mild symptoms (mild shortness of breath and/or angina) and slight limitation during ordinary activity. Class III - Marked limitation in activity due to symptoms Class IV - Severe limitations. | Baseline to 6 months follow up |
| Change in Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT Distance or 6MWD) | The Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a practical simple test that requires a 100-ft hallway but no exercise equipment or advanced training for technicians. This test measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk ona flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes (the 6MWD). It evaluates the global and integrated responses of all the systems involved during exercise, including the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems, systemic circulation,peripheral circulation, blood, neuromuscular units, and muscle metabolism. It does not provide specific information on the function of each of the different organs and systems involved in exercise or the mechanism of exercise limitation, as is possible with maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The self-paced 6MWT assesses the submaximal level of functional capacity. | Baseline to 6 months follow up |
| Change in Quality of Life (QoL) as Measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) | The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire is a 23-item, self administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms, social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life. with a range of possible subscale scores from 0 to 100, with 100 representing the least burden of symptoms. The KCCQ tool quantifies the following six (6) distinct domains and two (2) summary scores: KCCQ Symptom Domain, KCCQ Physical Function Domain, KCCQ Quality of Life Domain, KCCQ Social Limitation Domain, KCCQ Self-efficacy Domain, KCCQ Symptom Stability Domain, Clinical Summary Score and Overall Summary Score. Clinical Summary Score includes total symptom and physical function scores to correspond with NYHA Classification. Overall Summary Score includes the total symptom, physical function, social limitations and quality of life scores. | Baseline to 6 months follow up |
