Conditions in which JVP is raised

Flashcards covering the causes and conditions associated with raised Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) as outlined in the lecture notes.

JVP

Jugular Venous Pressure.

RVF

A condition associated with decreased compliance of the right ventricle that causes raised JVP.

RV infarction

A condition causing decreased compliance of the right ventricle resulting in elevated JVP.

pulmmary HTN

A factor that decreases compliance of the right ventricle, leading to a rise in JVP.

Tricuspid stenosis

An inflow obstruction that causes JVP to be raised.

RA myxoma

A specific inflow obstruction that results in elevated JVP.

Excessive fluid adm

A cause of volume overload that leads to an increase in JVP.

Renal failure

A condition leading to volume overload which results in raised JVP.

Sup. vena cava obstruction

A condition where the jugular vein will be engeorged and exhibits a lack of pulsation.
