And that will be the approximate level of the tricuspid valve, the reference point for measuring right atrial pressure. In right atrial tracing, this occurs at the time of right ventricular contraction, with bulging upwards of the tricuspid valve. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade.
