NameTimeMethod
Number of individual adverse events related to the system or procedure.30 days, three (3), six (6), twelve (12) and twenty-four (24) months post procedure
Echocardiographic changes in Effective Regurgitant Orifice Area (EROA) compared to Baseline30 days, three (3), six (6), twelve (12) and twenty-four (24) months post procedure

as assessed by the flow convergence method

Functional changes as compared to Baseline for New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification30 days, three (3), six (6), twelve (12) and twenty-four (24) months post procedure

The severity of patients' heart failure symptoms is assessed using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. Patients are ranked from Class I (no limitation of physical activity) to Class IV (unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort).

Quality of Life evaluation using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ).30 days, three (3), six (6), twelve (12) and twenty-four (24) months post procedure

The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life. In the KCCQ, an overall summary score can be derived from the physical function, symptom (frequency and severity), social function and quality of life domains. Scores are transformed to a range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status.
