reduction in peripheral congestion decreases the risk of cardiac cirrhosis, also reducing right heart overload promoting a degree of reverse RV remodeling, and possibly even reductions in tricuspid annular dilatation, and thus the severity of TR in some cases. A global improvement of patient functiona...
