atrial pressure

atrial pressure increases when :

  • a wave : atrial contraction
  • c wave: as ventricle contracts - due probably to bulging of AV valve into atria
  • v wave: increases slowly at atrium fills with blood from periphery

atrial pressure reduces when :
  • x descent: atrium relaxes and tricuspid valve is pulled downwards
  • y descent : tricuspid valve opens and blood flows into right ventricle
