Abstract

In two patients with chronic rheumatic carditis with mitral stenosis (and in one patient with aortic regurgitation) there were large venous pulsations limited to the base of the neck. These pulsations consisted of very large “a” waves in the phlebogram. It is probable that these pulsations were due to tricuspid stenosis without failure and without dynamically active tricuspid incompetence.
