Jugular venous pulse recording in a patient without a tricuspid valve.
The unusual contour of the jugular venous pulse tracing (JVPT) in a patient whose tricuspid valve was excised is described. The appearance of an early positive systolic wave (SW) followed by a prominent "V" wave and a delayed deep "Y" descent were noted.
