Left atrialization of the jugular venous pressure

Left atrialization of the jugular venous pressure is called when


[A] a wave > v wave
[B] a wave = v wave
[C] c wave < v wave
[D] a and v wave merge



Left atrialization of the jugular venous pressure seen in

Left atrialization of the jugular venous pressure

  • a wave = v wave

Normal JVP – a wave > v wave

RA wave form – a wave > v wave

LA wave form – a wave = v wave or v is taller than a wave – due to less compliant LA which is emptying into less compliant LV
