You are here: Home » Pathology Notes » Beck’s triad for tamponade
hypotension (a late finding)
JVP elevation
quiet heart sounds
If you see an elevated JVP, think about tamponade
is it from left- or right-sided heart failure, or is it from tamponade?
you lose the second descent—the Y descent—this is late filling of the ventricle and it’s not filling anymore
so the JVP isn’t really bounding like it normally does
