JVP & ECG Flashcards
5 Waves of JVP
A C-XVY
Atrial contraction wave
A wave (JVP)- upward deflection
which JVP wave is absent in AF (atrial fibrillation)
A wave (JVP)- upward deflection
RV contraction wave
C wave (c)ontraction
Closed Tricupsid valve budging into Atrium
C wave
Which valve in closed during C wave?
Tricuspid valve
C wave
bulging of tricuspid into the right atrium during ?
Isovolumetric Systole
downward displacement of closed Tri Valve during
RAPID VENTRICULAR EJECTION PHASE
X wave (descent)
- Tricuspid Regurgition
- right HF
reduced pressure gradients
-Which JVP wave are TRICUSPID REGURGITION, or R HF absent/ reduced
X wave
V wave (jvp) increased ? Pressure
Increased RA pressure
Due to filling against closed Tricuspid valve
“v-illing”
Increased RA pressure from Filling
Against Tricuspid Valve
RA emptYing into RV
Y descent (jvp)
Prominent Y wave?
constructive pericarditis
Absent Y wave
cardiac temponade
Automaticity location?
Cells Depolarize themselves
SA node ( RA)
Band of Tissue/ Highway wave transfers Depolarization to LA
Bachmann’s Bundle
