Rationale for change
The C wave occurs during isovolumateric contraction and is primarily due to the closure of the tricuspid valve. Right ventricular contraction occurs during the x descent, becuase the rush of blood out of the ventricle actually creates negative pressure on the atrum, cause a decrease in pressure on the JV pulse curve.
