Exercise stress test is recommended for the evaluation of functional MR in HF patients; however, exercise tests are difficult to perform during the early phase of acute HF. In this regard, handgrip test is an option to investigate the exacerbating impact of functional MR during early-phase acute HF. This case indicated that response to isometric handgrip can vary depending on HF condition, highlighting the importance of taking into account the timing of the handgrip procedure in patients with functional MR and HF.
