Overview

Jugular venous pressure (JVP) is considered the most useful finding for assessing the ventricular filling pressures and central venous pressure (CVP) at the bedside. The jugular venous pressure is measured as the vertical distance between the top of venous pulsation and the angle of Louise, i.e., where the manubrium meets the body of the sternum. A distance of >3cm is considered jugular venous distension (JVD) or an elevated jugular venous pressure (JVP).

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. [1]

Common Causes

Common causes of jugular venous distension include: [2] [3]

Diagnosis

Shown below is an algorithm summarizing the diagnosis of jugular venous distension. [4] [5] [3] [6]

Increased right atrial pressure
 
Venous obstruction
 
Increased intrathoracic pressure
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Restriction of right atrial and right ventricular filling:

Cor pulmonale (Massive pulmonary emboli, COPD)
Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary valve stenosis
Constrictive pericarditis
Cardiac Tamponade

RV Failure:

Cardiomyopathy
RV myocardial infarction

Fluid overload due to renal diseases

Tricuspid valve incompetence

Tricuspid valve stenosis or obstruction
 
Superior vena cava obstrcution
 

Treatment

Do's

Don'ts

  • JVD only provides clues to the presence of an elevated central venous pressure (CVP). [3]
  • Clinicians should avoid making decisions about the degrees of CVP elevation based on the JVP measurement.
