The Ultrasound Hepato-Jugular Reflux: Measuring the Hepato-Jugular Reflux with Ultrasound with Comparison to Invasive Right Heart Catheterization.

Ultrasound can overcome barriers to visualizing the internal jugular vein, allowing jugular venous pressure and hepato-jugular reflux measurement. We aimed to determine operating characteristics of the ultrasound hepato-jugular reflux and ultrasound jugular venous pressure predicting right atrial and pulmonary capillary occlusion pressures.
