Positive hepatojugular reflux is found in conditions except:: (A) Tricuspid regurgitation, (B) Right hea failure, (C) Decreased after load, (D) PS
Answer is C. Answer is C (Decreased after load) Hepatojugular reflux results from an increase in preload and afterload to the right atrium and ventricle (and not by a decrease in after load). Hepatojugular reflux is a characteristic feature of Right ventricular, failure. Tricuspid regurgitation and Puhnonic stenosis are both causes of right ventricular failure and may hence produce a positive hepatojugular reflux.
