Which of the following condition is associated with giant ‘v’ waves in a JVP?
Correct Answer: TR
Description: Giant v waves are seen in tricuspid regurgitation and VSD. v wave in a JVP represents atrial filling and occur during ventricular systole. In tricuspid regurgitation there is an accentuated v wave followed by a rapid y descend. In progressive TR, v wave merges with the c wave and the right atrial and juglar vein waveforms become ventricularised. Reference: Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 18th edition chapter 227.
