Despite the substantial mortality benefit of disease-modifying therapies [1], assessing and managing congestion remains challenging. Existing tools such as clinical examination, blood and urinary biomarkers, and cardiac and lung ultrasound are limited by observer variability, logistical constraints and the need for technical expertise [2]. Comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), which co-exist in up to 60% of patients with heart failure and may contribute to congestion, further complicate assessments, which can lead to worse outcomes [3, 4]. Consequently, there is growing interest in objective, reproducible and accessible tools that complement conventional approaches to congestion assessment by providing additional information on fluid distribution within body compartments. Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive technique that measures the electrical properties of biological tissues to estimate body composition and fluid distribution. Since the pioneering work of Nyboer in 1959 and Hoffer et al. in 1969 [5], BIA has evolved from a research tool for body composition into a broader clinical technology used across multiple specialties [6]. Advances in multifrequency, segmental, and spectroscopy-based systems have further expanded its potential for assessing fluid compartments in conditions such as HF and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). However, BIA encompasses heterogeneous technologies, parameters and prediction models, and its clinical role remains incompletely defined, with recommendations for further research [7]. This narrative review outlines the physiological principles of bioimpedance, evaluates its applications in HF diagnosis, prognostication, therapeutic guidance and remote monitoring, and explores the methodological and clinical barriers that have restricted its widespread adoption.

In addition to promoting myocardial stiffness and diastolic dysfunction, impaired microvascular function across the pulmonary and peripheral circulations may contribute to reduced tissue perfusion, exercise intolerance, and dyspnoea. CKD may further aggravate this process through volume and neurohormonal pathways as well as circulating uraemic and inflammatory factors that impair endothelial function, through a kidney-microvascular axis. Despite its high prevalence and poor prognosis, therapeutic options for HFpEF have historically been limited. Recent advances, including sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dual incretin therapies (GLP-1/GIP RAs), and (non-steroidal) mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, have reshaped the therapeutic landscape by improving cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with HFpEF.

Chronic pulmonary regurgitation and/or residual right ventricular outflow tract obstruction drive progressive right ventricular dilatation, dysfunction, dyssynchrony, and myocardial fibrosis, predisposing to heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias. This review summarizes contemporary concepts in the surveillance and management of adults with rTOF, focusing on multimodality imaging, pulmonary valve replacement (PVR), arrhythmia risk stratification, aortopathy, and emerging pharmacological strategies. Echocardiography remains the first-line modality for assessing residual lesions and aortic dimensions, while cardiac magnetic resonance is central for quantifying right ventricular volumes, regurgitant fraction, and fibrosis; computed tomography complements anatomical evaluation when magnetic resonance imaging is not feasible. PVR, increasingly performed using transcatheter techniques, is a cornerstone intervention, with guideline-based decisions integrating symptoms, right ventricular volumes, functional testing, and ventricular function. Arrhythmia management combines risk stratification, catheter ablation, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in selected patients, and individualized medical and pacing therapies. Aortic root dilatation is common, but dissection is rare; surveillance and surgery are guided by diameter thresholds and growth rate. Evidence for routine renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibition to improve right ventricular function remains limited, although selected agents and exercise-based interventions are under investigation. Infective endocarditis risk differs by pulmonary valve replacement modality and valve type, being generally higher after transcatheter than surgical replacement, and warrants individualized antiplatelet therapy and vigilant surveillance after implantation.
