Summary

This study is checking if a blood marker called GDF-15 can help doctors predict early complications and death in people with advanced heart failure who are getting a mechanical heart pump (LVAD). Researchers will measure GDF-15 levels before surgery in about 48 adults and then track their recovery. The goal is to improve risk assessment and identify high-risk patients before the procedure.
