Q

What does the v wave/peak in jugular venous pressure represent?

A

Atrial filling with closed tricuspid valve –> increase in pressure form increased venous return

17
Q

What is indicated by the x descent in jugular venous pressure graph?

A

Atrial relaxation

18
Q

What is indicated by the y descent in jugular venous pressure graph?

A

Passive emptying of R atrium

19
Q

Explain the abdominojugular reflex test.

A

Pressing on the liver to increase venous return
Normal: slight rise in JV distention that quickly returns to previous
RHF: Prominent JV distension that is maintained

20
Q

What is Kussmaul’s sign and what does it indicate?

A

Increase in JV distension during inspiration, when it should decrease
Sign of RHF

21

22
Q

What is indicated by wide splitting of S2?

A

R bundle branch block

23
Q

What is indicated by fixed splitting of S2?

A

ASD

24
Q

What is indicated by paradoxical splitting of S2?

A
