However, data regarding prognostication in MAC-related mitral valve (MV) disease remain limited. This retrospective observational study aims to explore the prognostic impact of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP) in MAC-related MV dysfunction and define its determinants. We identified 4,384 patients (mean age 78 & nbsp;+/- 11 years and 69% female) with MAC-related MV dysfunction (documented transmitral gradient >= 3 mm Hg) from a large institutional echocardiographic database between 2001 and 2019. In Cox regression analysis, higher SPAP strongly associated with all-cause mortality, independent of cardiovascular risk factors and indices of MV dysfunction (adjusted hazard ratio 1.22 per 10 mm Hg SPAP increase, 95% confidence interval 1.17 to 1.27). Patients with SPAP >= 50 mm Hg had significantly higher mortality compared with SPAP < 50 mm Hg (log-rank p < 0.001), a finding that was consistent across different transmitral gradient subgroups (<= 5, 5 to 10, and >= 10 mm Hg). Independent determinants of SPAP included the mean transmitral gradient, mitral regurgitation severity, left ventricular ejection fraction, and >= moderate aortic stenosis (adjusted p < 0.05), and atrial fibrillation and left atrial dimension. The impact of concomitant mitral regurgitation on SPAP decreased at higher transmitral gradients and was no longer significant at gradients >= 10 mm Hg (p = 0.100). In conclusion, SPAP strongly associates with mortality in MAC, independent of cardiovascular risk factors and indices of MAC-related MV dysfunction. These findings suggest an incremental role for SPAP in the risk stratification and prognostication in this increasingly prevalent condition with expanding the scope of possible interventions.
