Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is frequent and has been directly related to high mortality rates. The pathophysiology of TR is mainly functional as it occurs predominantly in the context of left-sided heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, or atrial fibrillation. Surgery is currently the primary treatment option in patients with functional TR. However, isolated tricuspid valve surgery is associated with an intolerable high risk of operative mortality and poor outcomes. New transcatheter options could be used in high-surgical risk patients. However, with often severely dilated annuli with a non-planar and elliptical shape, absence of calcification, and proximity of structures, the tricuspid valve anatomy poses many challenges.

Predictors of outcome are yet to be defined in patients with TR in order to improve risk prediction for the different treatment modalities (medical, surgical, interventional). The Tricuspid Regurgitation Hamburg Cohort (TRUTH) aims to monitor patients with relevant TR, irrespective of the underlying etiology or therapeutic approach. In addition to available evidence from previously published clinical trials, elaborate prospective clinical registries, such as TRUTH, that monitor clinical routine and current practice, will be of significant importance to further enhance therapeutic options.
