The ‘Y’ descent in JVP waveform represents:
(a) Atrial relaxation
(b) Atrial systole
(c) Atrial emptying
(d) Apical displacement of tricuspid valve
Show/Hide Answer
ANS- (c) Atrial emptying
‘y’ descent presents passive emptying of blood from Right atrium into Right ventricle.
‘y’ descent is absent in cardiac tamponade.
In tricuspid regurgitation rapid ‘y’descent & slow in tricupsid stenosis.
