hi
i am currently studying form kalra 3rd edition
this far (only finished 1/3 of the first chapter though), i have found two things that confused me:
1. written in kalra: JVP - this reflects the right atrial pressure (normal to 3 cm above the clavicle ...) shouldn't it be above the sternal angle?
2. cervical venous hum - occurs in hyperdynamic circulation or with jugular vein compresion. I think it should dissappear with jugular vein compression?
Any idea? Or do you find any other things that confuse you while reading Kalra?
