The chronotype significantly moderated the hs-CRP given the DCI (moderation coefficient, α2=0.05, 95% CI = [0.01-0.08]). The chronotype diminished the hs-CRP predicted by the DCI. The findings of the study underscore the significance of assessing the protective effect of individuals' chronotype concerning cardiovascular health.Patients with symptomatic stage D heart failure who require left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support and suffer concomitant severe mitral regurgitation are often difficult to manage. One reason is due to cardiac anatomic constraints that limit optimization of the mechanical assist device. Typically, these patients are not candidates for repeat sternotomy with surgical mitral valve repair, and heart transplantation may not be feasible or timely. This case describes two patients with LVAD support who received transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair for severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation. We believe this procedure may be a therapeutic option in stable patients with severe mitral regurgitation who require mechanical support.Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are elicited directly from patients so they can describe their overall health status, including their symptoms, function, and quality of life. While commonly used as end points in clinical trials, PROs can play an important role in routine clinical care, population health management, and as a means for quantifying the quality of patient care. In this review, we propose that PROs be used to improve patient-centered care in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases given their importance to patients and society and their ability to improve doctor- provider communication. Furthermore, given the current variability in patients' health status across different clinics and the fact that PROs can be improved by titrating therapy, we contend that PROs have
