Rationale for change

Pt with JVD, prominent v wave, and holosystolic murmur - "on the jugular venous pulsation (JVP) waveform, prominent V waves are highly specific for TR"

Additional Resources


- The v wave marks the onset of RV relaxation (v wave to c wave = RV relaxation)


- Giant v waves are seen in tricuspid / mitral regurgitation, if tricuspid valve is leaky, pressure is going rise in RV contraction (from c wave to v wave)



increased JVP without inspiratory decline is known as Kussmaul's sign; may also have prominent x & y descents on jugular venous pulse tracings and a pericardial knock (mid-diastolic sound) on PE
