  2. Jugular venous pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_venous_pressure

    The jugular venous pressure (JVP, sometimes referred to as jugular venous pulse) is the indirectly observed pressure over the venous system via visualization of the internal jugular vein. It can be useful in the differentiation of different forms of heart and lung disease .

  3. Kussmaul's sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kussmaul's_sign

    Kussmaul's sign is a paradoxical rise in jugular venous pressure (JVP) on inspiration, or a failure in the appropriate fall of the JVP with inspiration. It can be seen in some forms of heart disease and is usually indicative of limited right ventricular filling due to right heart dysfunction.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_vein

    The jugular venous pressure is an indirectly observed pressure over the venous system. It can be useful in the differentiation of different forms of heart and lung disease . In the jugular veins pressure waveform, upward deflections correspond with (A) atrial contraction, (C) ventricular contraction (and resulting bulging of perspicuous into ...

  6. Abdominojugular test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominojugular_test

    AJR is a test for measuring jugular venous pressure (JVP) through the distention of the internal jugular vein. A positive AJR test correlates with the pulmonary artery pressure and thus is a marker for right heart dysfunction, [2] specifically right ventricular failure. [1]

  7. JVD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JVD

    Jugular venous distention, a component of the Beck's triad; JVD (company), a French company that manufactures hygiene and hotel equipment; jvd, the ISO 639-3 code for Javindo, a Dutch-based creole language

  8. Beck's triad (cardiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck's_triad_(cardiology)

    The rising central venous pressure is evidenced by distended jugular veins while in a non-supine position. It is caused by reduced diastolic filling of the right ventricle, due to pressure from the adjacent expanding pericardial sac. This results in a backup of fluid into the veins draining into the heart, most notably, the jugular veins.

  9. Cardiac tamponade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_tamponade

    The three classic signs, known as Beck's triad, are low blood pressure, jugular-venous distension, and muffled heart sounds. [24] Other signs may include pulsus paradoxus (a drop of at least 10 mmHg in arterial blood pressure with inspiration), [12] and ST segment changes on the electrocardiogram, [24] which may also show low voltage QRS ...
