What (who) is jugular venous pressure - definition

BLOOD PRESSURE IN A VEIN OF THE NECK
Jugular vein distension; Jugular venous distension; Neck vein distention; Venous waveform; Y descent; X descent; Venous pulse; V wave; V-wave; Jugular distension; Distended neck vein; Distended vein; Jugular venous distention; Jugular venous pulse
  • A JVP waveform

Jugular venous arch         
Venous jugular arch; Arcus venosus juguli; Arcus venosus jugularis; Jugular venous arches
Just above the sternum the two anterior jugular veins communicate by a transverse trunk, the jugular venous arch (or venous jugular arch), which receive tributaries from the inferior thyroid veins; each also communicates with the internal jugular.
Jugular lymph trunk         
Jugular lymph nodes; Jugular lymphatic trunk; Jugular trunk; Jugular lymph trunks
The jugular trunk is a lymphatic vessel in the neck. It is formed by vessels that emerge from the superior deep cervical lymph nodes and unite to efferents of the inferior deep cervical lymph nodes.
Jugular foramen         
ONE OF THE OPENINGS FROM THE POSTERIOR CRANIAL FOSSA THROUGH WHICH NERVES PASS

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. Classically three upward deflections and two downward deflections have been described.

  • The upward deflections are the "a" (atrial contraction), "c" (ventricular contraction and resulting bulging of tricuspid into the right atrium during isovolumetric systole) and "v" (venous filling).
  • The downward deflections of the wave are the "x" descent (the atrium relaxes and the tricuspid valve moves downward) and the "y" descent (filling of ventricle after tricuspid opening).
