To revise the anatomy lessons, this is the external jugular vein and this is the internal jugular vein. And that will be the approximate level of the tricuspid valve, the reference point for measuring right atrial pressure. The X prime descent is absent in tricuspid regurgitation in which, C and V waves fuse together.

Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). In the matched population, differences in mortality (30 days: 4.2% Poverall=0.522; 1 year: 10% versus 2.3%

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. Planimetry of mitral valve area can be obtained in parasternal short axis view in case of mitral stenosis. Apical four chamber view shows all four cardiac chambers, mitral and tricuspid valves, and the septa.
