Repeated Medical PG Question- 80

#MEDICINE(INI-CET)

Mark the true statements regarding JVP -

1. Tricuspid regurgitation = +ve Freidrich's sign

2. Cardiac tamponade = absent y descent

3. Tricuspid stenosis = slow y descent

4. Steep x descent = Constrictive pericarditis


Options: 

A. 1,2 and 3 are true

B. 2 and 3 are true

C. 2, 3 and 4 are true

D. 1,2,3 and 4 are true









Answer.D :1,2,3 and 4 are true



Cardiac tamponade: 
• y descent absent as heart can't relax
• Bag of fluid squeezing heart from outside passive filling of blood in the ventricle.

Tricuspid regurgitation
• CV wave -feature of severe TR as CV wave is positive.
• Steep y descent


Steep x & Steep Y descent causes :
• Constrictive pericarditis
• Restrictive cardiomyopathy
• Rapid ventricular filling tt d/t
• Calcification outside heart
• Fibrosis of heart( Diastasis impaired)


Points to Remember:
▪️Rapid y descent-Freidrich's sign=TR, ASD, AF,          CP,RMP
▪️Slow Y descent-TS, High RV pressure
▪️Absent y descent-Cardiac temponade
