That occurs in right heart failure and constrictive pericarditis. Constrictive pericarditis is an important cause for Kussmaul sign or inspiratory increase in jugular venous pressure. The Y descent is shallow in tricuspid stenosis, and absent in cardiac tamponade. But in a VSD with pulmonary hypertension A wave is not prominent.
