The peak of the 'a' wave demarcates the end of atrial systole. The x descent follows the 'a' wave and corresponds to atrial relaxation and rapid atrial filling due to low pressure. The c wave corresponds to right ventricular contraction causing the closed tricuspid valve to bulge towards the right atrium during RV isovolumetric contraction.
The pain appears on the left or right upper abdomen, is constant, and increases in intensity over time. It is in some cases relieved by leaning forward and heightened by lying on the stomach. Back pain may be present and, if intense, may spread left and right.
"pounding in the neck" or neck pulsations, often due to cannon A waves in the jugular vein. These occur when the right atriumcontracts against a closed tricuspid valve. [3] Palpitation associated with chest pain suggests coronary artery disease, or if the chest pain is relieved by leaning forward, pericardial disease is suspected.

Heart rate related - Palpitations associated with arrhythmias; In particular, the examiner should look for the following in the physical examination, as these are frequent findings at the time of admission ...
The right common carotid may rise above the level of the upper border of the sternoclavicular joint; this variation occurs in about 12 percent of cases. In other cases, the artery on the right side may arise as a separate branch from the arch of the aorta, or in conjunction with the left carotid.
The skull bone behind Hermansen’s right eye was gone. In its place was a hole, allowing her brain to press against the eye, which explained the pulsating, said Dr. Netanel Ben-Shalom, a ...
Venous hum is a benign auscultatory phenomenon caused by the normal flow of blood through the jugular veins. [1] At rest, 20% of cardiac output flows to the brain via the internal carotid and vertebral arteries; this drains via the internal jugular veins.
