Jugular Venous Pulse, The

Synopsis

Stresses the wealth of information that is obtained from carefully observing the venous pulse. A brief historical survey of Sir James Mackenzie’s classical work on the venous pulse is followed by a short demonstration of instrumental techniques used in the analysis of the wave form of the venous pulsation in the neck. Different types of abnormal venous pulsation with characteristic wave forms are shown, and the deduction of the cardiac abnormality present is considered in each case.
