As the atria do not have valves at their inlets, [2] a venous pulsation is normal, and can be detected in the jugular vein as the jugular venous pressure.

The most recent International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation guidelines [ 131 ] also suggest two other parameters that can be used for evaluation of prognosis in advanced heart failure, the heart failure survival score and the use of a criterion of VE/VCO 2 slope > 35 ...
