Hey!
i`ve always thought that Kussmaul`s sing is an increase in JVD with inspiration
and it is said so in a couple of explanations in UW
but
whenever UW is talking about Kussmaul`s sing in the setting of constrictive pericarditis, it explains Kussmaul`s sing as lack of decrease or increase in JVP on inspiration (eg q #4133)
so i`m a little but confused now, what is Kussmaul`s sing?
