In obstructive HCM with significant mitral regurgitation (MR), MitraClip device implantation reduces MR severity and symptoms. There are no data regarding MitraClip implantation in patients with non-obstructive HCM and significant MR.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 78-year-old woman with non-obstructive HCM and significant functional MR (3+) was admitted to our centre for dyspnoea and episodes of pre-syncope under light stress. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography showed a normal left ventricular ejection fraction and normal right heart pressures, an inverted mitral filling pattern, and a central prevalent jet (A2-P2 origin) of MR. Exercise echocardiography performed to verify exercise tolerance was interrupted at the 50-W stage due to severe hypotension and pre-syncope. After transcatheter edge-to-edge repair using the MitraClip system, the patient exhibited a reduction in MR Grade from 3+ to 1+. Follow-up up to 1-year post-procedure revealed noticeable improvements in exercise tolerance and symptoms. There were no further episodes of pre-syncope.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In non-obstructive HCM, the pathophysiological role of MR in symptom generation is unknown. In this patient, we speculated that significant MR contributed to the mechanisms responsible for severe hypotension and pre-syncope during exercise. A reduction in MR after MitraClip implantation was associated with symptomatic improvements. Our findings further highlight the potential utility of the exercise stress test in therapeutic decision-making for patients with non-obstructive HCM and MR.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjcr\/ytab446","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,18]],"date-time":"2021-11-18T07:59:57Z","timestamp":1637222397000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Transcatheter mitral valve repair for the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation and exertional pre-syncope in a patient with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2894-4092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katya","family":"Lucarelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Department, Ospedale F.
