An early diastole peak caused by filling of the atrium from peripheral veins is identified by which intracardiac pressure?
A)A wave
B)V wave
C)C wave
D)X descent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The V wave is an early diastolic peak caused by the filling of the atrium from the peripheral veins. The A wave is generated by atrial contraction. The C wave is a small pressure increase seen after the A wave in early systole. The X descent follows the A wave and is produced by the descent of the tricuspid valve ring and by the ejection of blood from both ventricles.
