Key result
GDF-15 outperforms NT-proBNP in predicting 1-year mortality after transcatheter tricuspid intervention.
Why the study?
Many severe TR patients present at an advanced stage with limited benefit from transcatheter interventions, and NT-proBNP often fails to reflect systemic organ injury or right-sided hemodynamics.
Do systemic biomarkers (GDF-15, suPAR) combined with right atrial pressure improve 1-year mortality risk stratification in patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid intervention?

Do systemic biomarkers (GDF-15, suPAR) combined with right atrial pressure improve 1-year mortality risk stratification in patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid intervention?
In patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid intervention, systemic biomarkers like GDF-15 and suPAR outperform NT-proBNP for predicting 1-year mortality, especially when combined with right atrial pressure.
May refine risk stratification with GDF-15 plus RAP in TTVI; leaves open routine adoption pending larger validation.

Edlinger et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Severe tricuspid regurgitation (n=100). GDF-15 and suPAR combined with right atrial pressure vs. NT-proBNP was evaluated on 1-year all-cause mortality (AUC 0.795, 95% CI 0.675-0.915, p=< 0.001). In patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid intervention, GDF-15 demonstrated the highest prognostic accuracy for 1-year mortality (AUC 0.795; 95% CI 0.675-0.915; p<0.001), outperforming NT-proBNP.
