No JVD Explanation: The correct English idiom for "jugular turgescence" is "jugular venous distention". Schevallier had the right idea but the wrong idiom. In examining the heart, one always documents the presence and characteristics of the heart sounds (S1, S2), the presence and nature of murmur(s) if they are there, and the presence or absence of the so-called "extra heart sounds" (S3, S4). Thus I suspect that the "$" is an S with a slash through it, indicating "no extra heart sounds". Extra heart sounds can arise in heart failure. The absence of JVD and the absence of extra heart sounds mitigate against the presence of congestive heart failure, which is a concern with very rapid heart rates, and 200 bpm is indeed very rapid. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2014-03-16 16:20:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The OMi -/- means no pedal edema in either the right or left foot, which also relates to the absence of congestive heart failure. |
