55 years old woman with history of episodic atrial fibrillation and severe mitral regurgitation who was on warfarin from 1 year ago, underwent Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR) 4 days ago. She was transferred to post-ICU ward in sinus rhythm but the palpitation suddenly begun (below ECG). 

Her vital signs were as follows: BP 95/60, No fever, Acceptable Respiratory Rate, Heart Rate 130.  

Bed-side Echocardiography showed moderate Left Ventricle (LV) dysfunction (EF 35-40%), mild Right Ventricle (RV) dysfunction, Good MV bileaflet motion and dilated Left atrium (LA).

 

Question:

What is your diagnosis and reasonable therapeutic approach? 

History:

A 40-year-old man complained of shortness of breath and orthopnea during the last week. He had no usual cardiovascular risk factors, no history of medication, supplement, or drug use, and no history of recent viral infection.

The patient's appearance is significantly different from other family members (e.g. he is taller than his brothers.)

In the electrocardiogram, sinus tachycardia was seen.

In the echocardiography, EF=20% was reported and there was no evidence of LVH.

In the coronary angiography, there were no coronary lesions.

Question:

Based on his physical appearance, Which finding of the patient seems incorrect?
