Q

“A” wave: atrial contraction (ABSENT in _____)

“C” wave: ventricular contraction (tricuspid bulges). This technically is a reflection of a Carotid artery pulsation, but I wouldn’t describe it in this manner. (YOU PROBABLY will never SEE THIS IN PRACTICE OR TEST). Either way, both descriptions are technically correct. The ventricle contracts and that sends the blood to the artery that puts pressure on the veins (Technically the C Wave).

“X” descent: atrial relaxation

“V” wave: _____ (occurs at same of time of ventricular contraction)

“Y” descent: ventricular filling (tricuspid opens)

A

A wave absent in AFIB (also no S4)

V wave = atrial venous filling (V wave = “villing”)
