Abstract
In DF, functional MR and TR contribute to reduced cardiac output, increased thoracic fluid content, and systemic vascular resistance, together with enlarged atria and valvular orifice size, which can be improved by medical management. Bioimpedance and echocardiography provide for serial noninvasive assessments of hemodynamic status and valvular function in such cases.
